Profane Riddles

Michael Borella Doctor Nerve founder and leader Nick Didkovsky returns with an EP-length set of solo electric guitar pieces. Eschewing the wildness and intricacy of Nerve’s ensemble pieces, he instead crafts moody and melancholy pieces.

about

Nick Didkovsky - electric guitar

Nine enigmatically embroidered pieces for electric guitar. Stop the world for 31 minutes. Lie down and listen without interruption.

"The sky is overcast today (6/5/24) and there is a cool breeze blowing. It fits this music perfectly. - Bruce Lee Gallanter, Downtown Music Gallery

"A transporting listen that has already triggered one vivid dream since I first heard it. As I type this, Profane Riddles restores my belief in the communicative power of the electric guitar." Ken Shimamoto, The Stash Dauber

A solid "fusion" album that flirts a bit with most of the jazz styles from the 40s on and somewhat heavily with free jazz. Not so much that it's going to have you rummaging through the medicine cabinet for the ibuprofen or that it's going to take you half a dozen listens to get it but just enough to add a pleasant, artsy complexity to things. ...An excellent album by some masterful, experienced musicians. rick-taylor
