Just a quick heads up that C Joynes will be playing a free instore in Road Records on Tuesday 28th July at 2pm. Drop in and heckle him.
English acoustic guitarist C Joynes, a resident of Cambridge, has released a few self produced excellent CDRs, alongside an album on Bo Weavil, home of James Blackshaw, Sir Richard Bishop, Robbie Basho. Joynes uses a heavy thumb-led finger-picking technique that harks back to traditional country-blues and early ragtime, however, he uses this technique to explore alternative melodic traditions: the English folk-tune; North and West African music; elements of classical Indian music; proto-minimalist and impressionist musics from the European classical tradition. His approach to the recording and compositional process contains a subtle and unassuming experimentation, at times including collaged fragments, field recordings, processing, en-plein-air recordings, and cut-and-paste. Joynes’ music is instinctive, well-researched, placid, and evokes a certain simplicity and naiveté.
