Greg Malcolm
Greg Malcolm is a guitarist from Christchurch, New Zealand. After writing music for theatre and short films and playing in the surf-klezmer band Surfing USSR, he spent a period in Berlin in the 1990s before returning home. His solo method uses several guitars at once: a modified instrument with extra pickups that catch body and string noise, plus floor guitars struck with the foot or set droning with an e-bow or small fans. The Homesick for Nowhere appeared on Bruce Russell's Corpus Hermeticum in 2002, and Kraak later issued Swimming in It, recorded live without overdubs.
