Kevin Harrison
Recordings 1975-1985
Kevin Harrison’s music is guitar orientated. But treated and mutated. Harrison is no ordinary guitar hero: his playing shimmers like light reflected on water. His work is reminiscent of a cross between Eno, Michael Rother and Eric Random (when things hot up). While in the ambient field, it balances a lot more in the direction of contemporary electronics and a heavier sound. Nevertheless his influences make themselves very clear. At heart a minimal psychedelicist Harrison’s is the music of the hypnotic state, of dream and trance. It’s core is an obvious affection for the work of men like Terry ‘Rainbow in Curved Air’ Riley, Philip Glass, Kraftwerk and The Normal tempered with an awareness of oriental rhythms and harmonies which give the elemental electronics a warmer, human touch.
