Urban Soundscapes

"I believe solo instrumental guitar music must have an emotional core and not just be demonstrative of technical virtuosity. In order to capture the feel and tension of a live performance, Urban Soundscapes was recorded live in the studio in single takes without overdubs or editing" (Gerry Cott).
