michael willow guitarThis is a classical guitar EP by Wichael R. Willow published by Black Sheep Music. It includes four guitar pieces and moves to dark trails with a lot of serenity. Unlike Spanish guitar classics, this album has a different feeling. It is very laid back and relaxed and one can sense that the driving force behind the pieces is their structure rather than their melodies. It is not a typical Spanish guitar album and the influences are very rich from different musical eras, from Baroque to late Romantic. The interpretation is unique as the classical tremolos are present together with a dirty, rock feeling.

What is the reason of this release?

The pieces were composed long before the fans had asked to release some classical guitar pieces, which means that the demand does not affect the creativity. This is an attempt to embrace all the styles of music and give to the people the different tone of creativity and musicality, Music has no limits, it doesn?t matter if these ideas are not new in the history of music. When you want to express your feelings there is no limitation in how to do that. You just do it.

Track list and description:

I Belong to You: Composed by Michael and Peter Petkakis. It is about how people are connected with a place they have visited, lived and about beautiful memories that never fade through time.
