Renowned composer and guitarist Oren Ambarchi releases Long Story Short, a captivating solo guitar album that distills his signature sonic explorations into intimate, hypnotic compositions. Recorded on December 9, 2024, by Daniel Bengston at Studio Rymden in Stockholm, and mixed in February 2025 by Joe Talia and Ambarchi at Good Mixture in Melbourne, the album features two evocative tracks: "Apricot/Paper Cut" (4:02) and "And So Say All Of Us" (4:12).
Ambarchi's mastery shines through in these pieces, blending extended techniques with dense, layered textures that evoke the abstract minimalism of Morton Feldman and Alvin Lucier alongside the raw physicality of slowed-down rock abstraction. Solo guitar here transforms into a laboratory of shimmering loops, muted tones, and propulsive rhythms, creating fragile yet wall-shaking sonic landscapes that hover between hush and intensity.
