His album "One Feather Shy" crosses musical boundaries with little regard for convention. Sometimes delicate, sometimes aggressive, the music is textural, visual, thoughtful, and emotional. Moving from spaghetti western to ambient, from progressive to melodic, from sparse arrangements to densely orchestrated compositions, each song is fascinating on its own, but clearly an integral part of the larger work.
"One Feather Shy" is as diverse tonally as it is musically. Loren is fascinated with the sounds that can be made with the instruments he plays. He is just as likely to ferociously manipulate a guitar''s sound as he is to preserve the traditional tone of the instrument. The result is a unique sonic approach to instrumental guitar music. And, on this recording, it''s all guitar.
In addition to his solo work, Loren is a member of Guitar Circle of Chicago, a group of musicians committed to working with the principles of Guitar Craft as a "way of doing things." Guitar Circle of Chicago is featured on one of the songs on "One Feather Shy". Loren is also a contributing cohort to Lee Fletcher''s [halo] "Covers Venture" project.
