Download: Christopher Willits + Stars of the Lid Tour
Christopher Willits and Stars of the Lid, two American leaders of beautiful and innovative music, explore 19 dates throughout the United States and Canada. The tour will visit a typical and non-traditional range of venues such as the Independent in San Francisco, the Masonic Temple in Montreal, The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and more. Christopher Willits, hot off his collaboration Ocean Fire with Ryuichi Sakamoto, will be performing new solo guitar work alongside videos he has created from his photography. SOTL will be accompanied by a string trio for the entire tour and Luke Savisky will project layered 16mm films.
In 2004, Willits' occupied the first half Ghostly's SMM Vol.2 with his sprawling “Breathe (in seven sections) ”, a seven-part extrapolation of the custom-made guitar sounds that have garnered him so much acclaim. The suite is now available on it's own and in it's entirety, here at RCRD LBL.
