MUSIC FOR ONE is stark and simple guitar motifs that draw melodic
inspiration from old acoustic blues and Erik Satie. They mingle with a
modern experimental aesthetic that is created live in front of the
audience with a guitar, effects, and bits from the hardware store. As
chaotic as the times we live in, it can change at any given moment,
effects boxes twisting the emotive tones into a cavernous roar of
feedback and throbbing clicks. Light and dark, loud and quiet, its
somewhat comforting to know that a guitar can still confuse and enchant
an audience. MUSIC FOR ONE is Sherry, a Canadian now living in London,
and she has played on bills alongside artists such as AGF, Sunn0))) and
Hanged Up. In Autumn 2005 she toured the UK with cellist, Bela Emerson.
Available for the tour will be a newly released 3" CD from the Japanese
label, Duotone, featuring a remix by Justin of Do Make Say Think. She
also has a 7" record on Seren Records and 3 self-released CDs with the
newest album "OKeh" reviewed in the April 2006 issue of the Wire
magazine. MUSIC FOR ONE, will be performing as part of a collaborative,
interactive visual project with video artist Mari King and
animator/artist Neng Yu.
