Prepared Guitar Interview… 13 Questions

Sticky Post By On October 15, 2014

Recently I was approached by the wonderful Prepared Guitar weblog, which is written by the admirable Miguel Copon. Miguel is a professor at the Instituto de Arte Contemporáneo in Madrid, Spain. I think it’s incredible that he is documenting such a lovely topic and I was very flattered to have been asked to do an interview.

I’m a true believer in community and I think Miguel has created awareness and community in an area that is very dear to me and a lot of my friends. Keep up with your phenomenal work Miguel, and I very much look forward to playing in front of you in the future.

New album out…

Sticky Post By On March 19, 2014 With No Comments

My newest release, oldowan, has been released on Functional Equivalent Recordings. You can buy a limited edition cassette (48 of them made), which is an imprinted cassette within a black muscletone custom case and comes inside of a drawstring burlap bag.

Tate Eskew explores minimalist guitar drone in two 11 minute pieces with the release of “oldowan”. Exploration of regenerative ecology and indigenous culture inspired the two compositions. Instances of calm reflectiveness are slowly interrupted by passages of anxiety and moments of contentment.

I have two other releases nearing completion that I hope to get out within the year as well. More on those later. Here’s the artwork and tracklist for the new EP.
