Gwenifer Raymond

Episode 25 speaking to Gwenifer Raymond, a supreme talent in the American Primitive / Fingerpicking world with two tremendous albums under her belt - the latest of which she recorded entirely on her own at home. We spoke about how she started out with the guitar, playing alongside the American primitve greats and the uncanny valley feeling of streamed live performances.https://gweniferraymond.com/ https://gweniferraymond.bandcamp.com/Support the podcast: paypal.me/midierror https://www.gofundme.com/f/midierrormeets https://ko-fi.com/midi_errorShow Notes:Nirvana NevermindHole - Celebrity Skin https://www.nme.com/reviews/reviews-nme-91-353230Nirvana MTV Unplugged In New York https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyUVnCw_kLV0J2OjvADXZL-NrSghlEgDgGwenifer's Youtube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2iGJNH6ILc-C__MK4AyhbgAlternating Thumb Style Lesson https://www.guitarworld.com/lessons/how-to-play-fingerstyle-blues-with-alternating-bass-and-melodyGarth Hill https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garth_HillSega Master System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_SystemStar Trek https://intl.startrek.com/What Is Astro Physics? https://www.space.com/26218-astrophysics.htmlTompkins Square Record Label https://www.tompkinssquare.com/Hell For Certain, Kentucky https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hell_for_Certain,_KentuckyRhizome, Tacoma https://www.rhizomedc.org/Stuart Maconie's BBC 6 Music Freak Zone https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0072l4xGwenifer's Freak Zone Playlist https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000ql6jUncanny Valley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_valleyHenry Kaiser (musician) http://henrykaiserguitar.com/Thousand Incarnations of the Rose Festival https://1000rose.org/Takoma Park https://takomaparkmd.gov/You Were Never Much of A Dancer https://www.uncut.co.uk/reviews/gwenifer-raymond-never-much-dancer-106287/Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain - Album Launch Show https://youtu.be/JfLwbUi9tO4Hell For Certain Music Video https://vimeo.com/466312198Gwenifer at Union Chapel, Isington https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz6KOJAfXzIMaster Wilburn Burchette https://www.discogs.com/artist/88472Wilburn Burchette - Music Of The Godhead For Supernatural Meditation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aCys5Nu0-UStrange Lights Over Garth Mountain https://tompkinssquare.bandcamp.com/album/strange-lights-over-garth-mountainThe place Gwenifer was thinking of is called `Truth Or Consequences`.All incidental music by midierror

Welsh guitarist Gwenifer Raymond tells tales without words with her fast and aggressive fingerpicking - adapting “American Primitive” style for "old weird Wales." The fast and aggressive part might be due to her having played in punk bands, but her musical roots extend to the blues, opera, and folk, while leaning into the darkness, goth imagery, and British paganism - and sometimes there's blood. She joins us from Brighton, England to play tunes from her new record, Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain, recorded at home during lockdown. -Caryn Havlik Set list “Gwaed Am Gwaed,” “Eulogy for Dead French Composers” “Hell For Certain”

UK guitarist Gwenifer Raymond has adapted the sounds of the American South for her own intricate, and sometimes riotous, acoustic compositions. In this episode, she discusses how tunes from the Pixies, Roscoe Holcomb, and John Fahey guided her work.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brighton, England’s Gwenifer Raymond joins us on this week’s podcast. Raymond started playing guitar and drumming in punk and rock bands, but eventually stumbled upon Appalachian music, pre-war blues and John Fahey. Since then, she picked up a PhD, became a video game programmer and has just released her first album of Fahey-inspired American Primitive music, You Never Were Much of a Dancer (Tompkins Square). It’s a fascinating journey that we cover on today’s podcast, as well as her choice in gear and much more. This episode is sponsored by Lee Valley, Retrofret Vintage Guitars and Dying Breed Music.
