Description: | Longtime Woodstock resident, guitarist Peter Walker recorded two albums for the Vanguard label in the late Sixties in a style best described as American folk-raga. He studied with Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan, and was Dr. Timothy Leary's musical director.
Rediscovered by Tompkins Square in 2006 after decades out of sight, Walker has remained active into his 8th decade, recording for Jack White's Third Man label, and now, collaborating anew with fellow Upstaters, Harmony Rockets. Joined in a mighty super-session with Harmony Rockets (Mercury Rev), Martin Keith, Nels Cline (Wilco), and Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth), 'Lachesis/Clotho/Atropos' is a mind-melting inter-generational collaboration that could only have coalesced around the wool-sweaters, warm teacups and mouldering bookstores of "Old Old Woodstock", both the real and mythologized versions. - .. ATROPOS / FT. PETER WALKERHarmony Rockets with Special Guest Peter Walker - Lachesis / Clotho / Atropos - Composed of three sisters-Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos-the Fates were a trinity of goddesses. They were the personifications of man's life and destiny. These three immortals decided man's fate as a singular force: his life, lifespan and death. Consequently, they were in control of the past, the present and the future. They were not only feared and respected by mortals-they were also in control of the fates of the gods. Harmony Rockets create music that's even more experimental than the recordings they released under their more famous name. They put out acclaimed (and deeply trippy) LPs and EPs in the '90s; now, they return with guests Nels Cline, Steve Shelley and Martin Keith on this new collaboration (three extended pieces) with guitarist Peter Walker, best known for his '60s Vanguard recordings, later Tompkins Square LPs and a much-talked-about live album on Jack White's Third Man Records. A highly anticipated adventure in sound! Tompkins Square. |
