about

Guitarist Harvey Valdes has a reputation for genre bending, and his debut trio album, PointCounterPoint, is seven tracks of rhythmically driven, countrapuntal action that draws from metal, jazz, atonality, noise and more. These angular tunes feature Sana Nagano on violin, Joe Hertenstein on drums, and Valdes on seven string guitar. Valdes’ intervallic writing creates a tapestry of consonance and dissonance that is grounded in odd time and syncopation. Valdes and Nagano weave atonal melodies into improvisations, while Hertenstein holds the trio tight in his pocket. Valdes’ heavy, distorted sound pulsates with urgency throughout this inspiring,
intelligent, and intense debut.

An endless variety of guitar wizardry - noisy and shreddy one moment, epic and atmospheric the next, even has its catchy and funky moments. And the tracks have a beautiful sense of structure amongst the chaos: this is far more than just aimless noodling but always taking you somewhere unexpected. Giles
