about

BUST is a fool-hearty attempt at creating coherence out of "broken" and "untuned" guitars. Three different guitars with three different tunings were used in this "experiment," each in various levels of "devolution." Each BUST progresses accordingly from "tuned" to "untuned," "unbroken" to "broken," as explained here:

BUST I tuning: EBGDAE (standard).

BUST II tuning: A##A#EC##FC##.

BUST III tuning: Unknown.

If the aggressive electric guitar music heard here is in anyway desired by the listener, does that mean that the experiment is a success? Does it mean that the guitars are still "broken” and "untuned"? Probably. But if they are "broken" are they truly broken? As in, if a guitar is “broken,” yet can create such presumptuously desired music, does that therefore mean that the guitar is still “broken”? This is a debatable proposition and what follows are somewhat disputable issues: Has a change occurred in the guitar? When did this change occur? Whilst in the creation of the music? What stages of “broken” are there? How can a guitar be "more broken" or “more untuned” than any other guitar? Is the opposite of “broken” “normal”? And more importantly, is the opposite of “tuned” “broken”?

The answers to these questions are extremely uninteresting. Yet one is left pondering the notion: can “tuned” and “unbroken” aggressive electric guitar music ever be “abnormal”?
