Killick
of Athens, Georgia doggedly chases the extemporaneity. He plays
quasi-guitars and his "devil cello": the H'arpeggione, an upright
acoustic instrument with sympathetic strings. Acoustic may be a dirty
word, though that's his preferred (dirty) bag. His style blends
primitive folk, beloved metal, and sacred musics from around the world
into a doomy/pretty/physically exhausting voice.

About VioVox from Bob Marsh: I
recorded this collection of rantings, ravings, sermons, scenes, little
operas and whatever else they might be, in the flat lands of Richmond
California in the spring of 2007. Richmond California lies along the
east side of the San Francisco Bay and was at one time the home of
Rosie the Rivieter I vocalize, play violin and cello and use
samples I created on a Boss Looper Station. I employ a Boss Harmonizer
on my voice on most tracks and use a Korg Kaoss III Pad on a few
tracks. The cello and violin are processed through a Yamaha Stomp Box
and a Line 6 DL-4. I constructed the loops from my voice, violin, cello
and Silver Park, an instrument I recently invented. The recordings were
done direct to minidisc. A word about the words. Not all
the words are words. Most are almost words, made from the gesture of
speech towards meaning just before the word itself arises. Feel free to
complete anything you think might be missing. Most of the songs are not
really songs, rather sonic pictures that dance through time without
necessarily arriving at a particular destination. I hope this clears up
some questions people have had recently about just what it is that I
might be saying. The words that are clear are clearly words. Those that
are not clear are unclear.
