Andras Fekete’s “maximal minimalist” ensemble BOAT BURNING plays an intricate hybrid of composition and improvisation for massed-electric guitars, where deceptively simple passages performed on a profusion of instruments – sometimes fifty or more guitars – produce shimmering towers of densely-stacked harmonics. The result is powerful, evocative music that combines the widescreen sweep of classical with the sheer physical thrall of punk.
