Steve Gunn & David Moore

We’ll celebrate the release of their album, Let the Moon be a Planet (RVNG), a volume of improvisatory exchanges between classical guitar and piano that reflect the joy and possibility of collaboration. Let the Moon Be a Planet unfolded from an invitation to connect between two New York-based musicians who admired each other’s work but had never intersected: guitarist Steve Gunn, who has collaborated with Mdou Moctar and Joshua Abrams’ Natural Information Society and whose recordings represent milestones of contemporary guitar-guided material, and pianist and composer David Moore of Bing & Ruth. Moore has carved out a mesmerizing sound world updating the minimalism of Terry Riley with ambient drift rooted equally in new age and German Kosmische.
