further adventures of marco polo: the geography of the imagination

When you have played your instrument long enough, you start seeing yourself and the environment through your instrument;
therefore playing solo is the finest and the most delicate form of music-making. Vulnerable and powerful. The sacred and secret spot where one cannot rely upon anyone else.

Improvising from scratch, composing in-the-moment is the most sensitive and purest form of making music. The improviser does not only create in the moment, but should also be able to interpret it. If it's not real, you will loose it.

'Further adventures of Marco Polo' was originally recorded for collaboration purposes on May 2011. Two of these tracks were sent out to other musicians, and none of these recordings were listened again after that until they recently came in front of me once more. After listening to them again it was clear that I would publish this suite as a whole. Much has happened after these recordings, of course, as there have been long period of almost compulsive work with new and fresh ideas, the results of which will be released later this autumn.

I hope you find this suite enjoyable.

alvari lume - ALVARI LUME:  It is quite a treat for these old ears to behold some of the sonic wonders (totally) available for your aural pleasure these days - just listen to one of my favorite pieces from Alvari, "liquid violet"... beautiful languid guitar over a "wash" background that will put you in the outer zone in a matter of only a few notes.  Yet on "about midnight", I'm reminded of some of the antics my friend Ernesto Diaz-Infante pulled off with me back in the late '90's, especially the acoustic guitar stretches.  If you love well-played and highly talented guitar with strong improvised roots, you'll have to have this gent's music, especially those like (my favorite out of these 35 or so songs) "sign of C"... some excellent tonal contrasts.  This isn't music for the uninitiated, though... if your ears are only looking for 4-4 timing, with no adventure, this probably won't be your cup of tea... my ears are so attuned to what Alvari is doing that I feel like sitting right down at my keyboard (whoops, it hasn't arrived in Korea yet) to improvise my own opus.  I give him a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, with an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.96.  Get more information by visiting him (& his music, many of them downloadable) at www.reverbnation.com/alvarilume    Rotcod Zzaj
