Nick Ashwood - Strings pt. 1 - XII CS

"Strings I - XII is a study of the bowed acoustic guitar. All pieces were solo improvisations with no overdubs. The pieces were all subject to the amazing bunker space in Alexandra Battery, Nipaluna/Hobart, Tasmania. The acoustic qualities and ambiance of the space were impeccable to the creation of these improvisations."
