Detail

Description

A technically-demanding solo guitar work - embedded in an intense psycho-drama of disillusionment and alienation. The guitarist is frequently called-upon to speak (rhythmically or freely) and there is a brief passage of singing. This micro-opera is intended to be staged, and it is strongly recommended that the guitarist collaborate with an adventurous drama coach.

Comments

This is an amplified update of the 2006 First Edition, with fingerings and phrasing clarifications provided by Ukrainian guitarist Sergii Gorkusha. A more techincally-accessible version of this piece, edited by guitarist Marc Wolf, is also available.
