ben von wildenhaus: great melodies from around

Ben Wildenhaus (FEDERATION X) is a guitar player on par with modern guys like Alan Bishop & Sandy Bull. Drawn to the vast space, windblown grit & non-Western twang of desert guitar/oud music, Wildenhaus has always made good use of tools like a light touch, melody & subtlety in his songs - this is music built around tones, careful dynamics & strange, non-linear melodies, played on guitar with sine wave generator & spare touches on looping pedals
