I think this record will become one of my favorites, as it
is the most spontaneous project I have ever done. There is
no pre-advance work.  I was in a studio working on a
record project with a friend, when we finished recording
an hour earlier. I took advantage of the extra time and
asked Boris, the engineer, if I could play some solo pieces
and record live on 2 track. Which he agreed to. So I
started playing freely some improvised songs.
Also I was playing on a 7-string guitar that belongs to
Martine Montassier (she also made the 8-string guitar
which I usually play with) I was actually just trying her
classical guitar.
Those improvisations were not cut or edited and they
presented here as they were played.
More than improvisations, I wanted these pieces to be
spontaneous compositions that reflect the precise
moment where they were played.
I hope you will enjoy this album as much as I had the
pleasure of making it.
