The Apollo Project

An extraordinary cast—including Phish bassist Mike Gordon, Tortoise guitarist Jeff Parker, renowned ambient duo itsnotyouitsme, drone conjurer Sarah "Noveller" Lipstate and master six-string texturalist David Torn—convenes to interpret Brian Eno's luminous 1983 ambient release, Apollo: Atmospheres and Soundtracks. If you ask us, the 2012 New York Guitar Festival couldn't ask for a more auspicious kickoff.
