During these concerts Hammer utilized new guitar technology, known as guitar-synth, to orchestrate songs from ''Berlin'', ''Street Hassle'', ''The Bells'' and The Velvet Underground. It was during this time that Hammer developed an approach to composing and recording known as Guitarchitecture. Hammer recorded with Lou Reed on ''Growing Up in Public'', January 1980. In March 1980, Hammer recorded guitar-synth tracks for David Bowie on the album ''Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)'', including multiple textures across "Ashes to Ashes" and "Teenage Wildlife", both of which marked the earliest use of guitar-synth in Bowie's catalogue. The actual instruments utilized on these tracks included a Roland GR-500 with an Eventide Harmonizer. Textural tracks such as those on "Ashes to Ashes" exhibited a multi-layered, approach, to recording and composing with the guitar. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chuck Hammer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
