Музыка и песни Connors, Loren / Connors, Loren

Beautiful Dreamer is a two-part suite dedicated to Steve Dalachinsky -- an original among New Yorkers and everyone else; an indefatigable supporter of the avant garde; an ingenious poet; and a close friend to Loren Connors. Connors recorded these two solo guitar pieces shortly before Dalachinsky's passing in September 2019. Afterward, Connors returned to the music, and for the first time, used post-production to transform his real-time improvisations into an ethereal soundwork. It is unmistakably Connors -- a rich, ghostly tone birthed from the blues -- yet a new direction where slowness reveals a spectrum of shifting notes like a small choir, from rumbling baritones to vibrating sopranos. Beautiful Dreamer equally honors the dreams of Dalachinsky and captures the suspension of the Auguste Rodin dancer on the cover.

Originally released in a handmade edition of 300 copies on Connors' own St. Joan imprint in January 1990 under the name Guitar Roberts - "Blues" has been unavailable in any form until now. At time of its release, Connors was still an inscrutable guitarist whose matchless and alien rendering of the blues was just gaining recognition despite more than a dozen solo and collaborative releases since 1978. Connors' classic, song-based "In Pittsburgh" had only been available for three months when "Blues" welcomed the new decade with its reformation of the blues as minimalist lines and tone; a compound of influences spanning Louisiana guitarist Robert Pete Johnson to painter Mark Rothko. For this reissue, the audio was restored to Connors' specifications of how these seven instrumentals were intended to sound. Cover art is an untitled 1969 Rothko work - a painting that influenced the album. The original LP jacket it replicated as a full-color inner sleeve. New liner notes by music historian Byron Coley chart Connors development and Rothko's influence.

In 1994, after the Hell's Kitchen Park album and Mother & Son 7 ep had come out, a semi-sequel to the latter was released by Table of the Elements in the form of a 7-inch ep called The Five Points. The record told a short story of a New York City slum of Record Label: Enabling Works Style: Dub

Loren Connors has long been heralded as one of the country's most inimitable guitar voices. Like kindred spirit John Fahey, Connors' legacy began by quietly self-releasing a series of raw and embryonic LPs.
