Scot Ray - I Am the Tree

from Gitaristo Futura by Right Brain Records

/

about

How will we think of the guitar in the future? Scot Ray gives us one vision...

Previously a trombonist with the Brian Setzer Orchestra, Jason Mraz, Nels Cline, Vinny Golia, and Francisco Aguabella, he applies his lifelong fascination with portamento and the non-fixed pitch to lap steel guitar. Scot seemingly channels the mysterious sliding quality of the trombone into a harmonic environment filled with possibilities.

Scot has released over 20 recordings, and his solo work ranges from experimental to roots-driven, and he collaborates with many musicians. He is part of The Low Mids, a free improv power quartet featured on the Right Brain Records compilation ‘Guitar Improv Summit Vol. 2.’

"I Am the Tree" is perhaps too strange to summarize, but toss the previous two paragraphs into a blender, and voila. It's from his album 'Lost Mountain Tapes.'
