小简介
 
回到2002年，当大家听过德国乐手Michael Luckner化身而成的Guitar，在电音厂牌Morr Music发表的Sunkissed专辑时，都不禁大呼：「好My Bloody Valentine呀！」，听得各位Shoegazer信徒感动流涕。若然你因此而把Guitar奠定为一个Shoegazer单位的话，那么你便太低估Michael兄了。
Michael Luckner是一位犹如火麒麟般的乐手，除了Guitar外，他还有Digital Jockey、Computerjockeys、Music For Moving Pictures等Project。Guitar是一个他向结他声音致敬的Project，处男作Sunkissed开宗明义是取材自MBV的Loveless专辑，有如一种追祟之意义。然而跟着在2004年他只於日本方面发行的Honeysky专辑，却竟然带着浓浓的Country音乐薰陶而来。这还不算出人意表了，因为又隔两年后，Guitar在另一德国独立厂牌Onitor旗下出版的Tokyo专辑，他更玩起箏琴和琵琶来，而且还玩得有板有眼。
Guitar is the pseudonym adopted by musician Michael Lückner, who fuses organic and electronic sounds into music that embraces his wide range of influences, from cool-era Miles Davis to the shoegazing chaos of My Bloody Valentine. Lückner was born and raised in Germany, and picked up his first guitar when he was 14, after seeing a performance by John Martyn. Lückner already had a tape machine, and began lo-fi experiments in recording his music. In his early twenties, Lückner started playing guitar with a jazz ensemble while studying philosophy, psychology, and media in college. While Lückner continued to perform, his music took a dramatic new turn in 1995 when he bought sampling software and began using electronics as a medium for composing songs and constructing arrangements. Later that year, Lückner formed the duo Computerjockeys with Wolfgang Hagedorn, in which they used their computers to create sample-based music in real time on-stage. In 2000, Lückner began releasing solo studio recordings under the name Digital Jockey, and in 2002 adopted another moniker, Guitar. The first release from Guitar, Sunkissed, featured regular collaborator Ayako Akashiba on vocals, and Lückner would further explore his interest in Japanese music and art with Guitar's second international release, 2006's Tokyo, which included four vocal performances from Akashiba as well as several instrumental tracks employing traditional Japanese instruments. (A revised version of the album was released in Japan under the title Saltykisses; in 2004, Lückner recorded an album exclusively for release in Japan, Honeysky.) In May 2007, Lückner released a new Guitar album, Dealing with Signal and Noise, which included an unusual cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain's "Just Like Honey," while a compilation bringing together highlights from Guitar's Japanese releases, Salt & Honey, was scheduled for release in the fall of 2007.
