Got it? Conversely, this is more top-notch guitar-disguising, care of Riggs' home-built guitars and quadrophonic amp setup. The sounds are right up front, and resemble, among other things: close-mic'd dogs breathing heavily, the back of a refrigerator, cars idling, and motorcycles revving."-Bug Incision Edition of 57, cdr, color covers in plastic sleeves ![]() Electro-Acoustic Organized Sound and Sample Based Music Guitarists, &c.
