Encounters with Nonhuman Intelligences

The whole music and video are a fantastic piece of good art. It reminds me, back in the days, those experimental videos in the old KZbin.

Thanks, Patrick!

[@pbartmess]

The otherworldliness of your performance is amplified by the footage of those beautiful beings.

[@MaxRidgway]

Thank you very much. I'll admit that I struggle to find images or video that seem appropriate for the music. Thank you for mentioning it!

[@urbulibaba]

I always love and admire those experimental solos of yours; sounds and textures morphing into other sounds very organically... You could record a whole album of those!

[@MaxRidgway]

Thanks! I think they sound better with other instruments ( like drums for instance) .

[@TauPack2222]

Where'd all the footage come from? Also, how did you make those noises with a guitar?

[@MaxRidgway]

A lot of the footage came from EVNautilus LIve (@EVNautilus). I messed it up by changing the colors and saturation. The music was an improvised guitar solo - the guitar is running through a chain of six effects. Each one does something different to the signal.

[@helionaplexigra]

Damn do you play in a group?

[@MaxRidgway]

Thanks for asking! This recording is just a guitar solo, but I play with other people and I've played in some groups. There's a representative sample of group albums on my webpage (maxridgway.com). Are you a musician too?

[@B1rd_z]

Now THAT'S how you schizo post.
