Marco Oppedisano (born November 20, 1971 in Brooklyn, New York) is an American guitarist and composer whose compositions focus on the innovative use of electric guitar in the genre of electroacoustic music. His musique concrete/acousmatic compositions have utilized multitrack recording and extended performance techniques for electric guitar and bass. In addition to musique concrete, compositions by Oppedisano also consist of "live" electric guitar in combination with a fixed playback of various electronic, acoustic (specifically female voice courtesy of Kimberly Fiedelman) and sampled sounds.



Multitrack electroacoustic works utilizing numerous electric guitar, electric bass and female voice samples.

The works here were composed between 1999-2005. All sound sources on this disc consist of electric guitar and electric bass samples, with the exception of the female vocal samples in KARMICOM. Sounds were either kept in their original state or were processed with effects. These works have no live performance aspect.

Track 1, “Frozen Tears” is also a depiction from Dante’s Inferno and Track 8, “Limbo” is from the Purgatorio. They were not composed at the same time as the original Scenes from Dante’s Inferno set.
