Gregg Belisle-Chi has earned himself a central place in the contemporary guitar music scene in recent years thanks to his extensive skills and immense tonal potential. He has collaborated with renowned artists such as Bill Frisell, Tim Berne, Nels Cline and Henry Threadgill, while his own projects are characterised by profound, immersive soundscapes in which acoustic and electronic timbres merge in innovative ways. On Slow Crawl: Performing the Music of Tim Berne, Gregg Belisle-Chi once again proves himself to be a great connoisseur of Tim Berne's music. He explains: "This is more than just a collection of compositions—it’s a journey years in the making, one that feels like it’s come full circle." Guitar virtuoso Ben Monder is also enthusiastic about Slow Crawl – "With exquisite dynamic control, an effortless flow of ideas and beautifully recorded sound, Gregg Belisle-Chi has created a thoroughly engaging solo guitar album from start to finish. He captures the essence of these brilliant pieces by Tim Berne while making them distinctly personal.”
