about

I was inspired to create this album by a scene from the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona by Woodie Allen. The painter Juan Antonio suggested that they listen to the guitar in the evening. I thought what would I play for a painter on an acoustic guitar without a looper, Ableton live and other effects that are part of my guitar sound. I decided to visit Barcelona and find such a guitarist and get inspired. I sat by the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc and listened to a flameco guitarist. I started to think about how I would play like this on the street. I can't play classical or flamenco. I had to differentiate myself somehow. I decided to record spontaneous acoustic guitar compositions on one microphone and cable on strongly undertuned strings (In one piece is Whammy pedal).
Like I was playing on the street. You can hear me breathing and screaming on the album.

I used Lexicon reverb and Adaptiverb. The result is 13 spontaneous compositions, which I would call Soundtrack art. This is how the director of the belvedere gallery in Vienna named my music.

!!!You will have the best musical experience with headphones!!!

Dedicated to my kitty Ozzy.

about

David Kollar Prešovský kraj, Slovakia

Kollar treats his music with a deep degree of seriousness and personal involvement, as if each and every one of his projects was not only his proverbial brain child but as if it was his actual offspring. He treats his instrument as a gateway between his complex ideas and their audible representation, the same way a sculptor treats the chisel or a painter the brush."

Another stellar release from this long-lived ensemble. Though the King Crimson influence is obvious & that comparison unavoidable, these guys have made many great recordings that can't be categorized as 'mere copies'. The perfect balance of aggressive riffing and serene soundscapes. Stephen Roberts
