Album Notes

Bryon Thompson's "Set Your Sights" is an inventive blend of semi-acoustic instrumental tracks that showcase a broad range of acoustic pop. Thompson's guitar tones range from textured acoustic to clean and slightly edgy.

What stands out in this collection is the originality of each track and the imaginative approach to fingerstyle playing. Thompson is an advocate of guitar exploration and has no qualms about experimenting with tones, "I'm not an acoustic purest by any stretch. I like to do what works best for the song, not the genre".

At times, Thompson likes to offer several distinct tonalities in the same piece as he does with the contemplative "Unwind", fusing alternating guitars which work to form a relaxing musical conversation. "All Worked Up" offers some infectious, edgy lines while the melodic "Glide" hits you like a cool breeze.

Attractive melody and thoughtful composition are weaved successfully to produce some very memorable songs that work well as film or video soundtracks.
