"I want to see hedge-fund managers tipped into cage fights with naked Gypsies; bank managers wrestle with lions in the O2 arena; failed regulators thrown to alligators in the Royal Docks; short sellers in pits of snakes; and distinguished City economists try their luck with sharks. They've had their heyday, their bonuses, their Porsches, their fine wines and oafish ostentation - they've had their fun. Now for ours. To the guillotine!"

The first installment of the King Question series is an abstract but extremely listenable work that focuses on the human search for meaning. Certainty - as a concept - is pinned, sliced, and probed by a nearly indescribable mix of beats, noises, and words; samples and bits from radio, television, movies, contemporary music, and field recordings weave in and out, struggling with questions that are rarely answered. Volume One of King Question(s) takes a narrow focus on the Nouns of life, more of the "WHAT" and "Where," while "WHY," "WHEN" and "HOW" take the bench for a moment.

Fallujah, the album, was constructed between 2008 and 2010. The songs originated out of live sets that Gitar performed throughout 2008.
The sounds represent the attempt to understand atrocity and terror, from a distance. The sounds remember the crowded open air markets crumbling under the weight of bomb blasts, the fear that mother's had for their children, the fear and misunderstandings of the soldier,
the attempt to ignore, justify, fight back and cry. This album is empathetic, but claims to only attempt to understand,
and to attempt to engage others in this understanding...

Fallujah
BB019
Fallujah, gITAr's outspoken response to the war on terrorism has been a work in progress since 2008. It started as a live performance and slowly morphed into a fully edited audio collage at the beginning of 2010. Fallujah is the attempt to understand atrocity and terror from a distance and the phantoms that plague our everyday lives. It remembers the crowded, open air markets crumbling under the weight of bomb blasts, the fear that mother's had for their children, the fear and misunderstandings of the soldier, the attempt to ignore, justify, fight back and cry. This album is empathetic, but claims to only attempt to understand, and to attempt to engage others in this understanding...this rebuilding.

Pontiac Blueboy
BB011
Pontiac Blueboy was created in Berkeley, California in march of 2007, this improv revolves around a dragnet episode focusing on the LSD craze in 1967. The episode was obviously a way to scare kids from "expanding their minds" while using all sorts of propaganda/fear tactics to achieve their goal. the album is around 20 minutes and has a total of 8 tracks. It also comes with a hilarious art booklet with actual pictures of DEA officers doing what they do best...eating acid and selling it to the public.
