Dear friends,

let me risk my neck, and offer you one of the pieces I have worked on during the three last years.

I have commited myself to write a suite of related tracks, all played by myself on the electric guitar. No drum loops, no keyboards.

Does this work have some kind of right to exist? Well, who knows, but I hope so, obviously... We all know of at least one composer, who, in the past, tried to create a full-length work using nothing else than guitars ...  I find this very idea quite thrilling; what can be archieved with only a single instrument? (I am not talking about long guitar solos here; I am not even talking about 'guitar music', paradoxally! ).


Download the 8 min long track here:

It is obvious that I am inspired by Mike, but I have tried very hard to be honest to myself and only make music the way I like.

So, here it is; an ocean of guitars, but note that there is no solo instrument ...

Thanks /DS

A nice piece of work!
Enjoyed the melody's created by your improvisation, the track has a wonderful air about it..
Uncluttered by other instruments, makes it a pleasure listening to some great guitar work... well done!

Thanks for this, Michael!

I appreciate it very much that you took your time and listened. Not many people have heard it yet, you are one of the first... Will do my best to complete this suite; there is more stuff ...

Again, thanks!

I have now added the track to soundcloud (in case you don't like the idea of downloading the mp3).

Another track uploaded; beware, 14 min long, and thematically strongly related to the MAIN track.

The triology is now completed. Not that there has been a great interest in this, but, anyway, if someone is in the mood for it, here it is :)
