Fountain is the first solo recording by
Danny Paul Grody, founding member of
both San Francisco-based bands Tarentel
and The Drift. Centered around sparkling
acoustic guitar motifs, the album
unfolds as a series of hypnotic mood
pieces and evening hymns with a spectral
lyricism invoking scenes of moving
images and passing landscapes. Conceived
from a collection of home recordings
made over the course of a year, the
album perfectly distills many of the
musical forms from which Grody
gravitates towards, namely the chiming
kora music of West Africa, the 70's wave
of American underground acoustic guitar
players, and a number of long form /
drone composers and performers. Together
these influences combine to produce
something unique and personal. Many of
the songs are formed around mantra-like
figures, small clusters of notes stacked
upon one another like building blocks.
Bell-like harmonics, organ beds,
location recordings, and backgrounds of
feedback are textured throughout, giving
the record a lovely patina of earth
tones and moments of shimmering bright
light. Fountain is an assured first
statement, a record that has been hidden
in Grody for many years and has proven
to be well worth the wait. CD edition of
500
