Brian Enoの初期ソロ作品に触発され、80年代前半にインディペンデント・シーンで活動したインストゥルメンタル・ミニマル/シンセウェイヴ・アクトDelay Tacticsのメンバーであり、自身のレーベルMultiphaseを拠点に、現在まで演奏活動を続けている特殊ギター奏者Carl Weingarten（カール・ヴァインガルテン）。「Windfalls」（風で落ちた果物＝たなぼたの意）は、Gale Ormiston（ゲイル・オルミストン: Synth）とPhil Neon（フィル・ネオン: Guitar）を交えたエレクトロニクスによる風景トレースの習作「Submergings」に続き、Gale Ormistonとの共同名義で発表された83年作。全体の質感は、シンセやテープループ、ロング・サスティンのリバースギターを多用したFripp & Eno的音響作品であった前作を踏襲したものですが、より多彩な奏法を駆使しながら、アウトフォーカスなタッチで自然風景を描写した7トラックを収録。A1, B2にはDelay Tacticsの同輩David Udellがギター/ピアノ参加。本作の後、Delay Tacticsのもう一人のメンバーでシンセ担当のWalter Whitneyとの共同名義で「Dreaming In Colors」「Primitive Earth」2作品が発表されています。
bio.
Carl Weingarten is an American guitarist, photographer, and founder of the independent music label Multiphase Records. Regarded as "one of the truly great indie musicians working today" by the San Francisco Chronicle,[1] he is best known for his atmospheric sound and use of the slide guitar and Dobro. Weingarten has played a significant role in progressive[disambiguation needed] underground music for nearly 30 years, recording several solo and collaborative instrumental albums and signing various musicians to his label.
// Weingarten founded Multiphase Records in St. Louis in 1980. The following year, he released its first album, Submergings, in collaboration with Dale Ormiston and Phil Neon. That same year gave birth to Weingarten's instrumental synth rock band Delay Tactics. The group, featuring Walter Whitney on synths and guitarists David Udell and Reed Nesbit, took heavy influence from Robert Fripp and served as more of a recording unit than live act. They were, however, among the first of such indie groups to use digital delays in both studio recordings and live looping performances. With two albums under their belt, the group disbanded in 1986. A third record would be released under the Delay Tactics name in 2003. - Wikipedia (extract)
