Description:

2015 release from the ever-intrepid guitarist, producer, improviser, film composer and soundscape artist. David Torn returns with Only Sky, an album that explores the far sonic edges of what one man and a guitar can create, a solo recording of almost orchestral atmosphere. It is Torn's first ECM release since 2007s acclaimed Prezens, a full-band project that Jazzwise described as "a vibrating collage full of shimmering sonic shapes, a dark, urban electronic soundscape a potent mix of jazz, free-form rock and technology that is both demanding and rewarding." Many of those same descriptors apply to Only Sky, with it's hovering ambient shadows and vaulting flashes of light, it's channeling of deep country/blues memories and Burroughsian dreams of North Africa. Recorded in the acoustically apt hall of the Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center in upstate New York (and then sorted and mixed in Torn's own mad-scientist lair), Only Sky is an album to get lost in, over and again.

"Only Sky" is a captivating solo album by renowned guitarist and composer David Torn, released in CD format by the acclaimed label ECM Records. This record showcases Torn's innovative approach to guitar music, blending ambient soundscapes with experimental jazz and electronic textures. Through intricate looping, atmospheric effects, and masterful improvisation, "Only Sky" takes listeners on an evocative sonic journey that highlights Torn?s unique artistry. ECM Records is known for its high-quality productions and has been a leading force in contemporary jazz and classical music since 1969. David Torn himself is celebrated for his boundary-pushing work as both a solo artist and collaborator with legends such as David Bowie, Tim Berne, Jan Garbarek, and Tori Amos. His previous albums have garnered critical acclaim for their originality and emotional depth.
