Manuel Mota
"Experimental jazz and blues guitarist born in Lisbon, Portugal in October 22nd. Started playing guitar in his teens, soloing over records. In the late 80's his discovery of experimental music, jazz and all the underground activity of that period inspired him to turn his work public, which happened in 1989. From that to 1997 he studies and experiments with prepared guitar, mainly acoustic, and focused his work on drone music, influenced by Phill Niblock and La Monte Young.

There are four different bands named Altered States, listed in order of popularity: a Japanese free/noise jazz / avant-prog group from the 90s, an 80s gothic rock band, a Bass music production trio from Manchester and a psychedelic rock band from Dallas. 1. If pure musicianship is the guiding criterion, Altered States are arguably one of the greatest guitar/bass/drums trios in the history of rock, which may strike some as an overstatement but the evidence is there for anyone willing to seek out the band's Japanese label releases.
