about

A number of solo guitar pieces along with scores.

In stark contrast to “solo improvisations“, here every note is fixed. Another specificity might be the fact that the songs are very short, often exactly 1 minute. It has to be said that the series is informed in a special way by social media. Just as media in general have always had an influence on the artistic form, it should be noted that a.) certain online portals are very popular with guitarists and b.) the minute in 2019 seems to represent quite precisely an average attention span (compared i.e. to the double LP of the 1970s). The download also contains the sheet music of the individual miniatures. Please contact me in case you would like to play these pieces in public or record them.

Now

Master Chick Corea already said everything in the liner notes. There is nothing to add. Maybe the great quality of the recording though. jo jena/imm records
