Former OTS teacher Nathaniel Braddock returns to share his recent research of guitar music from his travels in West and Central Africa. For this talk, he will focus on his chapter, "African Electrical Networks," from the newly-published Cambridge Companion to the Electric Guitar, as well as from his forthcoming article in the Fretboard Journal, “Mathématiques Congolaises: The Hidden Luthiers of Modern Kinshasa.” This program is designed as a presentation and conversation with the school community, and not as a hands-on workshop. Braddock will share videos, audio, and photographs, and discuss new ideas in how people are writing about guitar music.
