Compartmentalizationalists
Compartmentalizationalists formed in 2010 to perform guitar compositions written by Atlanta-based composer Jeffrey Bützer and UK guitarist Claire Lodge.
The project was inspired by Italian films scores and experimental jazzbos such as Sonny Sharrock and Marc Ribot, but since they favor reverb, they are basically a surf band.
They have released two albums under this name, “Sutures” and “Mother’s Grey Dress.”
The current lineup is Mitch on bass, Sean on drums and Jeffrey on guitar.
