The Sacred Rock Legend Guitars Lisa Johnson

We gain access to the nicks, and scratches, the wear and tear from being on the road in Jimi Hendrix’s rock and roll life. Slash’s world famous guitar has cracks and wear that only that iconic guitar player could have embedded in a guitar. The guitars become intimate and not just something held at a concert.

In this Q&A, we learn about Johnson’s influences, how she gained access to so many famed guitars. She weaves the tale of how romance started the whole guitar photography gig in action in the first place.

Q&A:

MAJ: How did these guitar books come about? The one in 2013, and the one coming out in 2018?

The Improbable Worlds of Glen Wexler

Alone cello player sits on top a solitary pinnacle towering above a demon’s hole. Above her head, ravens circle. They’re watching her choreograph her last rites with each draw of her bow. A giant guitar is hoisted out of a pit in a desert mine landscape. Miners oversee the guitar’s unearthing. A beautiful woman’s severed head rests on the wastelands. Her closed eyes and decorated face tell the story of her last breath. All these improbable realities are narratives created by celebrated photographer Glen Wexler. Known for his concepts and creative skill with the lens, Wexler has had a long and storied career that spans decades.

Lili Haydn And Opium Moon: Kama Sutra Music
Malibu Arts Journal

Lili Haydn And Opium Moon: Kama Sutra Music

Opium Moon plays Kama Sutra music. Her violin weeps the notes of a love ballad. The bow is at times ecstatic and at others barely touching the strings. As she performs, we’re transported to another universe. There are overtones of Itzhak Perlman in her fingers, and Isaac Stern in her bow. Best of all, in her facial expressions you will find the plateaued emotions of her musical performance. Her whole body is into it, like a violent ballet. This is Lili Haydn with Opium Moon.
