David Torn is amazing

He makes his electric guitar sound like someone  playing slide acoustic
in this clip.

I might have to bust out the whammy bar and get practising.

He's a fuzz pedal freak over on the Gear Page, and posts quite often. cool guy.

Oh, do keep up at the back, Molesworth Minor.

I like the technique when he shouts into the pickups and loops the result. 

Recommended listening:
Cloud About Mercury
Polytown

Greatape

He puts a lot of interesting stuff up on his FB. 

See also: Dan Phelps, Mike Bagetta (influenced by Torn but voices of their own). 

Tripping over God is another good record.

He's amazing. Saw him live with Tim Berne and Ches Smith improvising in November. His Koll Tornado (now owned by Phelps) is a seriously awesome guitar. Prezens made a big impact on me.

I saw him live once when he supported David Sylvian & Robert Fripp at the Royal Albert Hall in about 1993.   You've reminded me that I need to re-aquaint myself with him.
