Claus Boesser-Ferrari - Welcome

A new name has been added to the small group of guitarists who have successfully created their own musical signature on the 12-string guitar: Claus Boesser-Ferrari recorded the lion's share of his new CD on a 12-string or 10-string guitar!

In doing so, he has succeeded in approaching this instrument in a completely independent way and designing a unique tonal cosmos of scintillating overtone clouds on the one hand and archaic grooves on the other. He never uses his effects, like cascades of flageolets or percussive miniatures, in a superficially exhibitionist way but doses them sparingly in the service of the respective composition. Claus Boesser-Ferrari presents seven original compositions on his second solo album, as well as modified adaptations of some pieces from artists like Police, Bob Dylan, Madonna, The Beatles and Sting...

The result is a grand musical landscape with sensitive microcosms full of both romanticism and brutish, dissonant moments. And it sounds like life itself: beautiful and strange.
