Scott Cortez United States
Biography
Scott Cortez - (b.1969) is a guitarist that has been creating ambient textural music and video work since the late 80's. 'Cortez is a founding father of a whole lately emergent guitar-abstracted ambient-drone tradition. Any number of tracks going back over the years reveal Cortez’s artful recontextualisation of the tropes of the ambient-dreampo-shoegaze genre; floats free from the de rigueur digital means of production of our age, continuing to navigate by lo-fi colour - guitar-wrought, loop-pedal-refracted, 4-track cassette-captured'
