Peter Warren and Matt Samolis have been working with their modified ‘steel cellos’ since 1997. Bowed Metal is the name of their duo work dedicated to the study and performance of acoustic drone music created by bowing cymbals and tuned steel rods. Our work is loosely structured and is guided by the direction of each performance, being that the instruments themselves often dictate the available pitch and timbral pallet. Our role as players is largely to maintain a focus on the present moment, and an openness to the progression of this unusual music as it unfolds.
THANK YOU Peter and Matt...this is fantastic and I know the difficulties involved. We were studying, creating, bowed metal music in the early 70's with John Bergamo, it is magic. Thanks again for continuing the evolution of bowed metals! The music here is beautiful.
I have a new track up from a forthcoming cdr entitled "The sum of any number of zeros..." with 12 duo-tracks with myself and drummer/percussionist Martin Öhman on Electronic Musik.
