Tinkered for a day or two with the new website. This is in preparation of a new recording of an album with music by Bach. A follow-up of my 2006 Nascent release in a way, but in a very different mood-I don’t have a title yet, but playing this music is my Sanctuary.
The big difference( and challenge) will be some of the more polyphonic material:three fugues from the lute suites. It takes a lot more practice to learn those pieces than the more monophonic Preludes I recorded before. I am planning to record at strangetree studios in California with my good friends Liza and JP Durand. They recorded my Nascent album and I feel confident their expertise will guide me towards a great album. My current practice guitar is a Taylor TZ-5. Yes, that’s the guitar I’ve been using for the past two years with California Guitar Trio. Thanks to Paul Richards for introducing me to this instrument!
I’m planning a donation page as well to offset the cost of travel, stay, and recording/editing for about five days. I considered doing it at home but it is such a weight off my shoulders if I can just focus on playing the guitar, knowing the engineering part is taken care of.
