Album Notes

Note from Jacob: This CD has sold out and is currently out-of-print. I'm already recording my next album. You're welcome to download this from CDBaby or any digital distributors like iTunes... but this one won't be coming back in physical format. Either add me on http://www.myspace.com/jacobwolkenhauer or e-mail jacob.wolkenhauer at yahoo.com to join my mailing list and keep up to date with progress of the new album. Thanks for listening and keeping in touch!!!

23 year-old unorthodox instrumental guitarist, "trying to make music that doesn't rely on lyrics for its content. There’s something more universal about abstract art that allows the audience to see themselves in it, instead of just me. That’s a little more interesting."

Although none of the songs are in standard tuning, and many of them employ extended or unusual guitar technique, this is all done in service of composition. Nothing is done for the sake of flashiness or hollow pyrotechnic value; every note is deliberate. To this end, every song is utterly distinctive. Whether soaring, roaring or balancing ominously on a precipice, the disc delightfully showcases a wide range of textures and musical imagery.
