Volume 5 in the Utech Arc series is the work of Joshua Convey. 'Vacant Integument' consists of 4 experimental tracks created with guitar, harmonica and electronics. This kind of passed me by on first listen as I wasn't really focused on what was happening but on second listen I can really appreciate the subtleties of this CD. The use of repetition lays underneath all kinds of little tones and intricate guitar plucking which wander around the pieces creating an un-nerving feeling. Strange and difficult to describe but worthy of your attention.Vacant Integument is the debut release from NY resident Joshua Convey. Sharp, spiky overtones rattle four skillfully assembled tracks. Each gritty frame is lined with a delicate array of guitar, harmonica and electronics. Quiet drone hums along as melody slowly reveals itself amongst carefully placed shards of raw feedback and noise. Not since Kaoru Abe or Masayoshi Urabe has the harmonica been used to such magnificent effect. Vacant Integument is a singular and resonant work that deserves all manner of praise.
