Guitar It'S Sweet To Do Nothing CD

The sound and arrangement of the pieces are close to the ideas and techniques of Debussy and Ravel. Soprano vocals by Stina K. are provided on several tracks. The entire album was created over a span of five years (2005-2010), and was designed to be evocative of relaxing in, and traveling to, places in Europe, Japan and North-America. Places like the Canary Islands, Okinawa or Catalina Island. And it could only be done with classical music instrumentation - more specifically, with chamber music arrangements. Upon initial listen, the album may seem far removed from Guitar's earlier work with symphonic walls of guitars, but ultimately the arrangements are similar - minus the distortion this time.
