Doug Doppler: Nu-Instrumental

Doug Doppler is an Ibanez endorser, visit the manufacturer's homepage & you'll see him doing a demo of the new (for 2008) 24-fretted S-series guitar.



I managed to acquire his Nu Instrumental release recently (after waiting for quite some time...), Mr. Doppler is an accomplished player, no doubt but I was after his applications of beeps, clicks & gurgles in this album. I'm constantly checking out players who incorporate technology into their tunes, this aspect of music opens up some alternatives which aren't traditional but inspiring nevertheless. While guitar dweebs are busy refining their chops, it gets pretty boring listening to strings manipulations without some fresh ingredients in the mix.
