Same Cave: Refracted Meditations III
“For every note the guitar can play there are an infinite number of tone colors waiting to be coaxed from its body.” —Sam Cave - Guitarist and Composer
This is demonstrated very well in this collection of very new works, which extend the tone palette of the guitar in many ways, from the still, almost mantra-like Refracted Meditation III by the performer, to complex and thickly-textured works by Fox and Murail, two distinctive sonatas by George Holloway and the almost alien soundworld conjured up by Horaţiu Rădulescu in the only work which introduces electronics (taped sounds) alongside the pure acoustics of the guitar. The contrast between Cave’s sparse, single line interspersed with gentle chords, and Murail’s transfer of spectral cluster technique, is exceptional.
Available April 13, preview and pre-order this exciting new release by composer and guitarist Sam Cave today at https://divineartrecords.com/?p=12942
