Compendium: Ambient, classical and rock soundscapes

Happy to announce the release of a new album! I have wanted to record this particular music for some time and it has taken the best part of a year for it to finally come together. From writing and recording through to designing the album cover and producing a couple of new videos, it’s been another solo undertaking. A lot of work but an enjoyable and worthwhile project and certainly some of the most diverse guitar music that I have done to date.

First track: Guardian At The Gate

I envisioned medieval knights doing battle in a fantasy world and had great fun working the feedback on my Vigier guitar to portray the emotional power of such a scene. The idea for that came from looking back at my early musical influences – as a teenager I, like countless others, was stunned by the way Hendrix could play feedback. He was a guitar genius. So, the end of Guardian At The Gate is my little ‘homage’ to the man. Click on the knight to watch the video.
