Keith Rowe is a co-founder of the english improvising emsemble AMM, established in 1966. Already in the late 1950´s Rowe started experimenting with preparations on the guitar, influenced by the ideas of Marcel Duchamps. In the beginning of the 1960´s he has been a member of Mike Westbrook´s band until his resolution, never to tune the guitar again, made his resignation from the group unavoidable. Since then Rowe is exclusively playing the "table top guitar" - as a soloist, in AMM and in various other groups.
