Instrumental guitar rock, a blend of blues, jazz/fusion, and even classical elements, I like to think my music has an original edge to it.
Welcome to my music! :) I use Steinberg's Cubase music creation software, my guitar and related hardware to record and create my music. Enjoy!

Story behind the song
First installment of a progressive rock work I started with the idea of it being very long, varied and entertaining, this 1st part is 10 mins + long, there is also the second part nearing completion. I hope listeners find this interesting enough to listen through it!

I know exactly how hard it is to do a long piece. On my page I have done a dire straits cover of Telegraph Road which is 14 minutes but it has the advantage of lyrics telling a story to keep the listener interested so as an instrumental this is much more difficult to achieve so bravo for achieving that ! The off key piano in the intro makes you wonder where this is going then BAM the awesome guitar kicks in ! Which again makes you want to listen more . The melodies and sub melodies keys and percussion are excellent ! An awesome masterpiece!

Interesting concept great guitar tone and playing . As guitar lovers and players we could go on for hours lost in the mist of joy we get from playing

I apologize for the delay in responding, Mauri. You see, in recent months, for various reasons, I visited my SC page quite seldom, so I missed your text. Now about the play. Despite its duration (10:46), it did not seem so long to me, because it was interesting to follow the musical thought in all its aspects and twists. I must admit right away that the first part, i.e. piano part, made the greatest impression on me, which, by its nature, is partly in contact with the genre that can be called avant-garde. The parts of the piece with the solo guitar are, in my opinion, more traditional, but there are also some fusion zests here that attract attention. I don't think this play will attract a wide audience, but it seems that this was not your goal when writing it, right? I am impressed by the general atmosphere - something akin to meditation, evoking associations with a kind of soaring at altitude. By the way, this is typical of your music in general (IMHO). Really original material.

G'day Mauri, Wow, right from the quirky off-centre / left-field piano intro I was totally captivated. Absolute monster guitar sound. A massive 3D wall of sound but with acres of virtual space. The many changes are fantastic. 10 minutes has just flown by. Excellent piece of music. Love it.

Oh! This is very interesting and different, Mauri! From a dissonant intro into masterfully guitar driven parts of great beauty. Great tone on the guitars and great changes, that keeps it interesting. Those 10 min were over before I knew it. WIth so many creative ideas, the music stays interesting and captivating. I love that lyrical guitartone, it really sings!
