about

This album is more deliberately 'composed' than anything else I have released. In fact my working title for this release was 'Guitar Symphony', because the construction was so complex.

These two tracks are made up of seven guitar melodies, which were written to be mutually compatible.

The melodies are played with different types of guitars, and a variety of effects and treatments.

The melodies are of different lenghts, and contain long periods of silence, so as they loop, they continually fall into new combinations with each.

This process is then repeated, in a different key, for the second half of the album.

This album was inspired by a midwinter flight over the Atlantic Ocean, and is dedicated with love and respect to Laraaji.
