Information

The first ForestSounds Studio CD.
This is the result of eleven years of composing and two years of arranging and recording. Twelve solo guitar pieces were re-arranged for multiple guitars and were recorded, mixed and mastered at ForestSounds Studio.
Every single sound on the album (with the exception of some water effects for the album's introduction) was produced by an acoustic guitar, and that includes the percussion that can be heard on some of the tracks.
Some pieces remained solo performances, while others were arranged for up to nine guitars!
The album contains a wild range of styles, ranging from classically flavoured music to Travis-picking country pieces and even some acoustic symphonic rock stuff.
Every song on the album is dedicated to a person important to the composer, so these pieces are truly 12 significant others.
