About Christopher Short
Christopher Short is a sound painter, guitarist, composer, sound designer, recording engineer, and half of the ambient duo Ma Ja Le with Paul Vnuk Jr.. Calling his style of guitar playing "guitartronics", as a nod to Robert Fripp's work in the area of looping guitar. Guitartronics goes beyond traditional guitar playing, guitartronics is a process of putting an electric guitar through various of signal processing devices, (usually a lot of them) including looping delays which extend the normal range of the instrument and can cause it to take on unrecognizable qualities. Qualities that are very un-guitar like. Loops are interesting too because a single performer can sound like an orchestra through multiple layers of sound. And performance with looping delays is an improvisational form of music. Each performance yielding different results. Short works in the ambient electronica music genre. Considered currently as an underground music, it has a history that goes back over a hundred and twenty years, with the development of the first electronic instruments in 1867.
