about

a series of solo guitar improvisations. for this release I have set myself the following dogmas:

- only material from live solo concerts is chosen*
- each of the four tracks is done in one take*
- each improvisation starts with or leads into composed material**
- live looping is allowed
- the played material will - if ever - be very minimally edited

* recorded and streamed on social media in september and october 2020. the first 2.20 minutes of the record are the only exception and were recorded in studio gresham in may 2020.

** track 1: miniatur #9, track 2: miniatur #6; track 7: estudios sencillos #1 by maestro leo brouwer; track 4: crescent by john coltrane (the latter two were excluded from recording).

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
