Corruption, Deceit, Murder

from CORRUPTION, DECEIT, MURDER by Fat Knuckle Freddy

/

about

Corruption, Deceit, Murder is a tour de force of a non-stop guitar piece of 18'55" long. It's fully composed and the goal was to compose a piece as long as John Fahey's Fare Forward Voyagers, 23'52". Oh, so close.

The opening theme was composed while sitting on the couch and binge watching True Detective, which also influenced the title. The work flows into a second movement in which a single note of the the open first string is played repeatedly while a partial capo is placed across the bottom 4 strings of the guitar. This changes the open tuning of B minor to C# minor 11.

After the second movement is finished, the process is reversed in order to remove the capo and reinstate the main/opening theme. The goal was to perform this work in one take without edits to get an overall feel as opposed to overall perfection. This took a long, long time but the end result was achieved. (Baritone Tricone)
