Chehalis
Chehalis is a
project created by guitarist Greg West to be the home for
various collaborations, group projects, and music that went
beyond the scope of solo guitar. Chehalis mutates and evolves
like living thing. In past incarnations it has been an acoustic
duet that peformed music similar to John McLaughlin's "Shakti."
It also has been the source of some very experimental ambient
electronic music.

More about Greg West
Chehalis was conceived in 1978 and has existed in numerous forms and configurations.
It's concept is similar to the early King Crimson, in which Robert Fripp
was the only constant member of the group. The various incarnations of King
Crimson changed personnel over the years, but Fripp was the central figure
in it's evolution. Guitarist Greg West is the founder of Chehalis and envisioned
it to be a musical chameleon. Although Greg has primarily performed and
recorded as a solo artist, Chehalis became the vehicle for non-guitar related
projects and ensemble compositions. Chehalis originally began performing
progressive rock music, but in it's various evolutions it has been an acoustic
ensemble, a progressive folk group, and a test bed for electronic music
projects. |
