Peter Autschbach - Slow Motion (CD)
As an outstanding solo guitarist, Peter Autschbach possesses a broad musical vocabulary and impresses with his profound playing technique, great stylistic confidence, and authentic sounds. He writes about his new album "Slow Motion":
In our performance-oriented society, it's usually those who shout the loudest who get heard. The maxim applies: if you shout, you'll be heard. But there is such tremendous power in quiet sounds. This has always fascinated me, and the acoustic guitar is the perfect instrument for it. At my concerts, I've discovered that people listen most intensely to my softest passages. So the idea of recording a really quiet guitar album was a natural one. But will anyone notice it when people are shouting all around you? There was a special moment that turned the idea into reality. In October 2016, Allton owners Caspar and Silke introduced me to their "Klangwoge" (sound wave). They let me listen to a recording of me playing the baritone guitar on this relaxation lounger.
The combination felt so perfect that we decided to create an entire album for Klangwoge. And I was finally able to put my ideas into a coherent album context.
