About Me

“drone guitarist p. d. wilder...a tad more conventional in a post-kranky sort of way, conjuring aural snapshots of ambient eno and windy & carl against the melting backdrop of swirling visuals.” – lee jackson, dead echoes roundup, foxy digitalis .
“if a broom swept the tile floor of a ghost town’s back porch, with infinity in its breadth, it might resemble the sound of this guitar...” – david caddell, the local .
“flowing sounds and sensitive dissonances seem no less fascinating than flying saucer attack...with an apocalyptic folk tendency, above all during the singing.” – salvo pinzone, losing today .
“p. d. wilder, one third of austin road warriors hotel, hotel , using his guitar as a gateway to serene places where beauty has a deep undertow” – michael chamy, dallas observer .
“expansive soundscapy guitarist with a patient mastery of timbre & texture, light & shadow” – womblife .
“he creates dense atmospheres, restrained but brimming with feedback and pulsing guitar drones.” – richard di santo, incursion .
“chaos’…otherworldly droning become the atmosphere, leaving the half-sleeping mind confused as to what’s real and what’s recorded.” – zak metz, distortion .
“consists of swirling and scratching string manipulations and percussive patterns, along with a lazy valium laced vocal style that makes for an interesting marriage of psychedelic and experimental free-improv elements.” – jerry kranitz, aural-innovations .
“acoustic guitarist chaos...lay down droning black holes of psychedelic strum.” – dead angel .
“a dissident sounding album of stark, beautiful minimalism and drone through guitars and marginal erratic, processed scat vocals, the long await...– jackal blaster .
“texas drone guitarist. minimal and ambient guitar washes create a spooky and ominous vibe. a few whispered vocals. fans of loren mazzacane connors will enjoy this. nice. recommended.” – cactus, kusf 90.3fm, lovemuzzle .
“ein torture-garden-feeling wie bei viscera oder ähnlichen knights & queens of darkness der 80er Jahre, aber eben völlig ohne Beat, nur die schwarzen Schwingungen der Saiten wie durch einen Spiegel in einem dunklen Wort (per speculum in aenigmate)” – rigo dittmann, bad alchemy.
“envision dense staticy drones accompanied by ambient drifts, grungy interference and occasional lyrics, buried deeply in reverb and further muffled by the swirling mix.” – david j. opdyke, ambientrance .
“stratospheric post-rock for sad, sensitive wanderers...powerfully resonant guitar drones evoke densely textured tracts of space.” – dave segal, alternative press .
