Patrik
Carlsson is one of a
hot new generation of exciting instrumental guitarists to have come out
of Sweden in the new millennium. His debut release “Phraseology”
(LMC107) was released in 2004 on Lion Music and now his follow up
“Melodic Travel” sees Patrik take a turn into more traditional
music waters to produce a very visual and melodic instrumental release
that combines Patrik’s guitar flash with some folk and jazz
inflections.
On
the new music’s nature Patrik comments, “This was first meant to be a
folk/jazz-inspired trip to the heart of Swedish traditional music. But
then I change my mind and started to explore various sidetracks and
musical solutions. The final result was a lot of different alternatives
and in the search for the melodic treasures new discoveries were
made”. “The melodic travel begins in the deep forests of
the northern mountains. You will hear the sound of ancient workers with
their tools and the melody once created with the violins celebrating
their lifestyle. Having passed through different environments and
landscapes the adventure will end up in a red cottage on a small island
far away from modern civilisation, where the water and the winds are
quiet and the sunset soon will pass into
darkness”.
Each song on “Melodic Travel” has its own story, and to
accompany the release Patrik’s official website (http://www.figstamper.com/) will have
illustrations to
visualise each song’s
story and mood.
