He has also released a solo guitar album in 2004, entitled Spike, on John Zorn’s Tzadik Records.
The album consists mainly of solo guitar and sound effects. Agata is known for creating strange soundscapes with his guitar and often sounds nothing like a guitar. This album could be seen as an extra addition to Melt-Banana’s discography as it shares many similarities to his guitarwork in Melt-Banana. The album also sounds similar to “Outro For Cell-Scape” on Melt-Banana’s previous album Cell-Scape, with most of the songs (eg “Frontside Boardslide Shovit out” or “Nollie Crooked Grind”) being named after popular skateboard tricks.
Agata claims that he gets the inspiration for his guitar riffs from the moment of euphoria when achieving something on a video game (Tony Hawk’s is a favourite of his) and at that moment sings out the melody pattern and converts it to guitar.
