I was inspired to create this album by a scene from the movie Vicky Cristina Barcelona by Woodie Allen. The painter Juan Antonio suggested that they listen to the guitar in the evening. I thought what would I play for a painter on an acoustic guitar without a looper, Ableton live and other effects that are part of my guitar sound. I decided to visit Barcelona and find such a guitarist and get inspired. I sat by the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc and listened to a flameco guitarist. I started to think about how I would play like this on the street. I can't play classical or flamenco. I had to differentiate myself somehow. I decided to record spontaneous acoustic guitar compositions on one microphone and cable on strongly undertuned strings (In one piece is Whammy pedal). Like I was playing on the street. You can hear me breathing and screaming on the album.
There will be an exclusive immersive audio playback event for new album The Harmony Codex by Steven Wilson at a location in London on 12th July. If you’d like the chance to attend this very limited invite only preview, you can register your interest on my website...
I am sharing with you another video from My Day. This time I was at the Def Leppard concert with my daughter and father and I played a concert in Prague for the film Po horach, po dolach by Karol Plicka.
This is my second video that I put on youtube as part of "my days". This is how my normal day of the week looks like. I drive my daughter to school and work in the studio. I also visited my neighbour Peter Popelka, who has a painting studio behind my wall.
