Tilted Axes: Music for Electric Guitars was created in 2011 for Make Music New York's inaugural Winter Solstice event. The guitarists performed original music by Patrick Grant through powerful mini-amps strapped to their sides while traveling the city streets.
Since its inception, Tilted Axes has had incarnations in New York, Detroit, Germany, Brazil, and other locations. Not one of the near quarter million people who have encountered Tilted Axes on three continents could say they had the same experience. The group moves and comes and goes.
