treated/manipulated/cut-up/effected acoustic guitars

could people just a bunch of artists/tracks that feature cut up acoustic guitars.

im thinking of fourtet, some timbaland productions, cornelius and mirwais' Naive Song. make me think of more please x



  • Madonna

    • The Books

      • ah very good point

        didnt see this. i will listen to my books albums more

    • which song?

      was it one that miwais produced? the "Tell me love isnt real its just something that you feeeeel"?

      also taht guy who produced destiny's child and stuff. what was he called?

  • jeremy warmsley i guess

  • Dntel - Last Songs

  • bon iver-lump sun

    technically, though live he doesnt play it cut up.

    under cornelius; 'Drop' is perfect.

    • how is that bon iver song

      cut up? :S

  • I'm not sure what you are getting at but it made me think

    that I can't stand acoustic guitar any more. Any new music that I preview in shops gets the hook as soon as I hear an acoustic guitar intro. I hope I don't start feeling that way about electrics cause I use to love acoustic.

    I doubt it.

    acoustic just doesn't speak to me anymore

  • TUNNG!

    .......

  • more pls

    • this guy

      i think he's acoustic - played with him once - lovely guy

      is this research for a new band type thing?

      • a bit, yeah

        i do a fair amount of live looping and building and glitching on my guitar, and want to see who does it better

  • cornelius

    would have been my edgy and cool answer

  • Maybe

    some stuff of BoC's Campfire Headphase? Lots of bleached/warped/degraded acoustic sounds going on.

  • I'd go for

    Fennesz. Also, there's a brilliant Squarepusher track on an Burningn tree (or whatever it's called) that's based around a cut-up acoustic riff. I can't remember the name of it, though, if they have names. Second track, maybe?

    • oh, and

      Bibio is worth checking out too, some nice pastoral guitar cut-ups and stuff.

  • there was a guy on Jools Holland

    called 'Joav' (I think) who did exactly what you're looking for. He was very interesting in the way he manipulated and distorted his guitar. Unfortunately, he also sang too (not so great) which is why I am here rather than rushing out to purchase his album.

    • Pedro

      but the new album doesn't have that much of that on there. first album on mush does though. fennesz - endless summer.

  • boards of canada...

    quite a bit of their last album 'campfire headphase'.

  • Joan of Arc

    There's a fair bit of chopped stuff on their earlier albums.
