Project

Unaccompanied Improvisation: The Multi-textural Nature of the Guitar

Gestart in 2013

This project investigates the textural gap between music that can be improvised and that which can be practiced and learned to play. Specifically focussing on the the rich multi-textural nature of the classical guitar repertoire and the monophonic/homorhythmic nature of the majority of improvised guitar music.
