Hm. Kevin Purdy’s a really nice guy. Been a muso round the traps for years and years, since the ’80s, doing weird indie guitar stuff, tape manipulations, what have you… Not only does he have a great radio show on 2ser (The 3rd Ear – and boy, you should see his record collection – puts my records & CDs to shame!), and an awesome duo Tooth (trio? huge orchestra?) with Shane Robbo (co-presenter of Frigid), but he does beautiful samples-and-live-instrument stuff himself too, as Purdy.
Yeah, so I’ve played on all the Tooth releases and I’m also on the new Purdy album, and that’s why I’m posting this, as I was just doing a vanity search in Google and came across this interview with Kevin, in which he is disarmingly lovely about, er… me:

Peter Hollo aka Raven put down some insanely gorgeous cello on several tracks. I have worked many times with Peter, both live and on record, he has a wonderful ear and is a really sweet guy. On some tracks he put down seemingly random lines, one on top of the other, which, when you heard the final result, wound around each other, swelled and harmonised perfectly. I hardly touched a thing he did.

Awwwwwwwwwwww.

OK, so I added the Raven link – so sue me!
