Miles Jay & Charbel Haber

Scratching, Tapping, Bowing

Experimental | Lebanon | 2008

Whether strumming, plucking, or gently bowing, Double Bass player Miles Jay is particularly adept at wringing strange, soothing melodies from his instrument, only to be fiercely challenged by guitarist Haber’s maniacal use of delay, pedals, and e-bow. Theirs is an intriguing dialogue, a dialogue of colors, of musical shapes and forms, hovering on the edge of melody, without quite settling into a definitive groove or pattern, and generating a tantalizing amount of sparks and intensity.
