This collection of works provides a contemporary perspective for the unconventional sounds that can be generated from the guitar. Performers were gathered from around the world, from Tokyo to Texas, Norway to Turkey, London and beyond. The timbre of this album as a whole is the modern version of the instrument itself, now possessing larger dynamic and harmonic ranges, and seemingly endless possibilities when combined with technology.
