NEWS
This Spring begins the Ralph Towner recording project. First on the list are 4 studies in E that have never been published. Updates about the project will be posted here and on the front page.
Update: The project is well underway, and a 5th piece has been added to the collection. Ralph title of the set is “the Maddalena Variations”: Prelude, Allegro, Grazioso, Lento, Plaintive but resolute. The set creates a beautiful balance between old-modal melodic lines and poignant, rich harmonies that are found in Towner’s decades of writing for classical guitar. The set has deep and atmospheric tone to it.

Studio Construction.
In mid-February, the home recording studio will be finished! Thanks to John Sayes forum, and Stian who are helping me with the project.
The Ralph Towner project is a wonderful idea!
Hi Roberto!
I remember hearing Towner’s music 15 years ago for the first time. After hearing Alieksey play the Juggler’s Etude in Arizona, I really got hooked. He’s an incredible musician, and has an unbelievable understanding of how to make the guitar sound good.
I met the man in December last year, and then we talked about making a recording his unpublished works for classical guitar. I’m waiting for the scores to 4 Etudes that he’s reworking. Hope to be performing them very very soon.
Will keep you posted when I know more.
All’s good in NM? Mickey Jones and family were here for a visit not too long ago. R
