Exploratory

Sculptor Stuart Griffiths had  a show at Wellington City Gallery, NZ. He invited me to do some resording for it and I invited my band mate, drummer Anthpony Donaldson. I dont think our band officially released anything until 1984 (on Braille Records), so this was an early recordng for us.

1981

LIve extract from a club gig in Prague, 1992, I think. Place was packed with people "who wanted to see something from New York." KInd of a challenge.

Prague Club Bunkr  1991  David Watson solo guitar

Solo prepared guitar (multi track) piece from my LP 'Reference'(Braille records, 1985). I made this pretty soon before leaving NZ for NY.

Reference Extract 1985

I think Time to Kill was the title. Pretty sure. Anyways, mid NIneties, with my band The Wax (Kato Hideki bs, Evan Gallagher keys, Dave Capello  dms). 
Over a few years The Wax 'experienced' my drift from guitar to bagpipes. And this very guitary track didn't make it onto our CD (on Dr Jims records)
Recorded by Marc Anthony Thomson in Cibbo Matto's rehearsal room.

A studio left-over from about '97 when we making what became "Or Yellow," which ended up being released by Lovely Music (with Christian Marclay, Christine Bard, Anthony Coleman, Mark Stewart, and JIm Pugliese).  Here I'm playing the guitar and Chris Mann is doing the words  (A very resiliant format). No idea of the real title.
