❝ John works through the constraints of the acoustic guitar to arrive at deceivingly simple melodic passages and layered moments of textural wonder. Laptop-assisted treatments and subtle looping are a part of John’s technique, but he also reveals unexpected flourishes in the resulting compositions. So many styles and textures collide that it’s easy to forget all we hear is an acoustic guitar. ❞ *
