Rick Potts: Musical saw, Hinge-neck electric guitar, Steiner-Parker synthesizer, Dr. Sample, Fake screaming rat, electronic birdcaller, Kalimba, Saxxy, Nose flute and Crow call. Rick Frystak, Chris Guttmacher, Brian A. Rosser. SAWS is a cracked-groove-celestial-takeoff to the nether-regions of the Musical Saw. Bowed, struck, tweaked, dubbed and kissed, SAWS do their business with electronic processing, hinged-neck guitar, spaced melody bass, squalky synths and crackling snare and cymbal. SAWS mark their territory with a sound unlike any other progressive music waveforms. Multi-instrumentalist Rick Potts is an improvisor and instrument maker who has been on L.A.'s musical fringe for a quarter of a century. A founding member of the L.A. Free Music Society (L.A.F.M.S.), Potts recorded and performed in one of its premiere units, Le Forte Four. A home-made sound scientist (with custom hinge-neck guitars, musical saw, electronics and tray of toys) whose idiosyncratic methodology produces sounds which are unique, alarming and enigmatic yet oddly cordial."

Notes
Saws is a cracked-groove-celestial-takeoff to the nether-regions of the Musical Saw. Bowed, struck,
tweaked, dubbed and kissed, Saws do their business with electronic processing, hinged-neck guitar,
spaced melody bass, squawky synths and cracklingsnare and cymbal. Big drums and bass guitar anchor these trips of spaced out musical saws, vintage synth skitter, expansive steel guitar echoes and hinged-neck
guitar back-sass. Melodic bass lines driving the tonal mind-melt of the sonic ghoulash, take the listener
into a region very accessable.
