After Silence

The music of After Silence is not 'classical' in the normal way, (although it might be thought so in a hundred years.) Rather, it is 'songs without words' played on the classical guitar. It is melodic, easy-listening music that puts you in a state of calm and rest. The compositions are all about expressing feelings and telling a story to the listener the best way of communicating for a composer! This album is titled After Silence because silence is a key element in music. The total silence before the music begins is filled with expectations and excitement. And the silence after the music stops is bursting with echoes and thoughts and pictures about the music. Those moments are vital. And while they last just a few seconds, they are nevertheless the most important part of the musical sound. The rests creates space and time between the sounds. Without them, the sound would be meaningless, and so a great part of the music can be found between the notes.
