He transforms vibrating strings completely, taking singular gesture and reshapes it through webs of delay, reverb and other treatments. To me, these works echo many of the concerns of American minimalism and sprawl towards the work of bands such as Stars of the Lid. Norman has created a very dense and powerful statement of intent with these recordings and I couldn't be more pleased to have some small part in helping to share them."http://exclaim.ca/music/article/norman_westberg_of_swans_gives_solo_album_13_wide_release Swans' Norman Westberg Treats '13' Solo Album to Wide Release Exclaim!
