An album of beautiful, relatively sparse instrumental playing, on
acoustic and electric guitar and on clarinet. The instrumental methods
and modes developed through the Tangent Precipitate era are bought to a
more focused conception of improvisation and sound under the guise of
this new persona.
The current alias Sam Stephens, a musician currently based in New
Zealand, uses for most of his solo work. He is an instrumental
performing and recording artist.... working with known, unknown, and
experimental elements to create recordings of interest to those who are
curious about the manifestations of sound. The Unknown Rockstar is at
heart an improvisor, and the albums he releases are single or multi
track improvisations, or assembled from improvisations.
