about

“Guitarist Jon Lipscomb, based in Malmö, Sweden, crosses free improv, noise and free jazz, conjuring dissonant extremes with visceral power. He learned his craft gigging in Baptist churches around Baltimore before attending Berklee - but neither location suggests the fearsome style of Conscious Without Function. On “Parallel Event Streams”, furious fingerpicking concludes with explosive outbursts; the scrabbling of “Phatic Culture” is broken up by stentorian blaring. This challenging music is not to be listened to in a fragile state of mind.”

Andy Hamilton, The Wire

Jon Lipscomb's dissonant tones push the guitar to its limits, the power and energy of his improvisations is visceral.
