It's always worth noting what Bill Meyer has to say, so you may want to read his words on 'fixe Idee' (yes, the local phrase - de.wiktionary.org/wiki/fixe_Idee). dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/790327438082244608/eric-arn-fixe-idee-carbon Thanks Bill! #recordreview #billmeyer #dusted #Vinyl #LP

“So, perhaps Arn’s unswerving obsession is that he has to deal mano-a-mano with the acoustic guitar?” speculates Bill Meyer. dustedmagazine.tumblr.com/post/7903274... @carbonrecords.bsky.social @guitarwrestler.bsky.social

happy 'fixe Idee' still gets airtime on WFMU, KBOO, WPRB, etc. Thanks to Samantha (www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/154446), Gary (www.selfhelpradio.net), and ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (playlists.wprb.com/WPRB/pl/20978535/The-New-Abnormal), and everyone I've missed! #radio #independentmusic #wfmu #kboo #wprb

Always nice to see may stuff get aired on WFMU. Thanks to DJ Bonce for letting 'Impromptu pour le fantôme' fly - in a mix that begins with Tiny Tim and William Shatner, but gets to Beefheart soon enough... wfmu.org/archiveplaye... #vinyl #LP #wfmu #radio

Here it is...2 hours of wild sounds.. “Indeed! Indeed!” link below...

On fixe Idee, guitarist Eric Arn puts the mostly unadorned acoustic through its paces. It is the sound of an accomplished guitarist playing in his own style(s), and the result is excellent: singular, exciting and adventurous. klofmag.com/2025/07/eric...

fixe Idee review by J Shatan “long-running avant-garde guitarist... and his acoustic instrument sound like they’re getting along beautifully... transporting and intriguing, from the sublime epic of Impromptu pour le fantôme... to the gnarled commentary of Ewigkeitsgasse, and many modes in between”
