Opus 2 was composed in the
three year period between 1999 and 2002. Despite the long period of time it took
to write the music, many of the most “magical” musical moments and ideas
that formed Opus 2 originated while in Europe (mainly in Krakow, Poland) during
the summers of 1999 and 2001. Recording began in January of 2002 and was
completed in August of 2003. Mixing and mastering occurred in September and
October of 2003. The pieces that form Opus 2
are autobiographical in their expression of personal thoughts, emotions, ideals,
events, regrets and desires. The
compositions are like journal entries of a diary. This idea began with Opus1 and
is greatly expanded upon here. It
is our desire that the listener will focus one’s hearing on all the different
layers and levels of this music in its entirety and not only on all the guitar
playing. -
