from Oannes *

Οι ηχητικοί πειραματισμοί του jazz/country κιθαρίστα, songwriter και εφευρέτη Lester William Poisfuss, ευρύτερα γνωστού ως Les Paul, ήταν η …electronica της δεκαετίας του ’50. Ήταν από τους πρώτους που εισήγαγαν τεχνικές και εφέ όπως το overdubbing [ήχος πάνω σε ήχο] και το tape delay, που δίνουν στη μουσική του, ακόμα και σήμερα μια ζωηρή ρετροφουτουριστική αίσθηση.
Η κιθάρα που κατασκεύασε υπήρξε το πρότυπο του πασίγνωστου μοντέλου της Gibson που φέρει το όνομά του.
Τον ακούμε στο “Whispering” των John & Malvin Schonberger.

The sonic experiments of jazz/country guitarist, songwiter and inventor Lester William Poisfuss, better known as Les Paul, were the … electronica of the 1950s.
He was one of the first to introduce techniques and effects such as overdubbing [sound on sound] and tape delay, which give his music even today a vivid retro-tourist feel.
The guitar he built was the prototype of Gibson‘s famous model that bears his name.
We hear him on John & Malvin Schonberger’s “Whispering”.
