about

All textures and sounds on this recording were hand played using a Synclavier Digital Guitar Interface. 
Although a guitar with digital interface could trigger virtually any sound, 
this is a series of pieces centered primarily on a singular core timbre / color field: 
Guitar/Cello. 
 Digital guitar technology presents many useful restrictions 
in essence stripping away the relevance of and reliance upon certain techniques: 
string bending - chords - quick phrases - feedback - touch dynamics. 
Within the context of these useful restrictions, 
structures were played relatively slowly and in wide string intervals (Glacial). 
The idea was to extend the guitar vocabulary.
