Gunslinger for two elektrik guitars, and a helping hand or two.

What if watching a ice sheet melt was as dramatic as watching on of them old-style-wild-west shootouts? And what if the consequences were the same?

In Gunslinger, freshly melted water from a cliff-side ice sheet is expanded to fill the wide ambience of a Western film soundtrack. Each impact becomes its own dramatic re-telling stretched out in time, and its resonances ripple outward in the wide prairie. Meanwhile, one or two folks try to clean up the mess.
