about

"Westwärts" [westward] was created based on the metallic sound of the western guitar. The harmony was derived from the fundamentals and overtones of long decaying open strings. I also composed complementary harmonies for the strings, which change the timbre of the acoustic guitar and amplify its physical sensory perception. The rhythms come from the fast strumming patterns that run throughout the composition and constantly revitalize it and push it forward with their explosive attack energies. The mostly improvised, distorted electric guitar part alternates with notated string parts.
