____


On “To Speak” the third release of solo guitar based material under his own name, Aaron Turner dives into subconscious playing and the deeper possibilities of electric guitar. The seven songs on the album vary in timbre, volatility, and volume while being collectively rooted in the core principle of expressionism. Entering the studio with Randall Dunn with no written material, Turner set out to capture improvised pieces devoid of any premeditation, and ideally little post-performance alteration or processing. In the final result we hear the dramatic topography of the interior mind as articulated by the electric guitar, working in concert with the performers body.

“I’m trying to see how much I can get out of the guitar through my physical relation to it,” Turner says “I am under the constant suspicion there is more than I have been able to reach, and keep trying to find that *more*. While I've felt constrained by language and verbal communication in many ways, communion with my instrument has provided me a means through which I'm able to transmit the things which are most deeply true for me - as well an opportuninty to examine and and exalt in the mystical aspects of life."
