After well over six years Deep Distance, the first book about Manuel Göttsching is complete. Here you can read about the writing process and order your copy.
I've just had word that as part of the 10th anniversary celebrations for Japan's Metamorphose Festival Manuel Gottsching will be playing his classic album Inventions for Electric Guitar live at Mount Fuji on September 3rd-4th 2010.
This event is also to feature the sizeable talents of:
Steve Hillage
Elliott Sharp
and Zhang Shouwang.
Hearing the way in which these guitarists choose to interpret what is a complicated, multitracked studio recording in a live setting will doubtlessly prove to be fascinating. We wait and we wonder.... Exciting stuff! http://www.metamo.info/news/130101210.php

I'm a Librarian, living in Whitley Bay, Tyne & Wear, England. I've been collecting records for as long as I can remember and used to spend what seemed like an endless succession of teenage Saturday afternoons in Manchester looking for that next elusive Holy Grail album. These days I can hardly move for towers of CDs! I am the author of the book Deep Distance - The Musical Life of Manuel Gottsching.
