He&#8217;s a maniacal soloist who grew up listening to rock, but who has no use for its conventions. He&#8217;s also an explorer who searches for new interlocking rhythms and different (that is, non-Western) approaches to harmony.<\/p>\n<p>For &#8220;The Fall of Us All,&#8221; his sixth album, Tibbetts heads to the Far East and the repetitive rhythms of India and China. Atop these, he adds droning guitar textures that shift in slow-motion to create gripping, ever-changing polychords. And atop those come his solos, which fracture every guitar cliche. Some songs are careening, melodyless journeys that unfold a half-step at a time. Others such as &#8220;Nyemma,&#8221; which contains the celestial, wordless-vocal incantations of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.claudiaschmidt.com\/\">Claudia Schmidt<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wendylewis.bandcamp.com\/track\/beast\">Rhea Valentine<\/a> ring with an effortless beauty.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/people\/5261785\/tom-moon\">Tom Moon<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;he adds droning guitar textures that shift in slow-motion to create gripping, ever-changing polychords.
