Acoustic Love
Aerial boundaries disappear in thin air. Spellbinding layered acoustic guitars, a quirky bass, ethereal synths & light shaker that go far beyond folk.

Album Theme: Spellbinding Guitar. Listen to Acoustic Love, Electric Blossum, Hoopoe Ambient and Finnish Winter. This spellbinding album is a soul soothing musical massage that goes far beyond folk. A colorful array of alternative and new folky arrangements smells like a bouquet of vibrant psychedelic sounds. Instrumental flirtations between sweet acoustic and experimental electric guitars make aerial boundaries disappear in thin air. Composer Mario Knapp says, "My guitar brings out my purest, most honest feelings. No sugarcoating. No faking. A friend of mine once said to me - Your first love will always be with you. I thought, yeah, my guitar is my first love. My magic key to making music. No matter what happens on the outside, music will always live in me."

Folky Clerk
A soul soothing musical massage. Punchy bassdrum, warbling space guitar and clean & clear country acoustics. A breath of fresh air.
1:46 · 120 BPM
Electric Blossom
A vibrant bouquet of musical flowers and psychedelic sounds. Instrumental flirtations between sweet acoustic and experimental electric guitars.
3:44
From Six To Four And Back
The power of repetition and imagining the next note before it happens. Thoughtfully distorted, plucked and sustained electric & acoustic guitars, reverberating bass, soft shakers & gentle ahhs. Interesting analysis.
3:28 · 120 BPM
Eclectic Country Blues
A local watering hole somewhere near Nashville. I heard there's a first class guitar picker in the lineup on Friday night. Eclectic acoustic & electric country blues guitars, pounding drums & a light shaker.

When The Day Is Done
I will sit on the bench and watch the birds, when the day is done. Distorted, chimey, warbling & clackety-clacking electric guitars still shuffling around and resonating in my ears. It was a good day.
4:18
Timbuktu Polyrhythm
The Trans-Saharan trade route crumbles like a castle in the sand. West African polyrhythmic drums, deep space choir, bouncy bass & wailing guitars sustained in space. A mystical kind of place that's lost in its own history.
3:43 · 114 BPM
Cool Down Waltz
Waiting for the bus to cool down after 90 miles of winding cliffs around Big Sur. High-pitched warm winds, a rapid drumbeat of nervous anticipation, far out loopy & kooky space guitars. Will the engine ever turn over and start again?
7:29
Hoopoe Ambient
Two little birds sitting in a tree. The male says, hoop-hoop to his pretty mate and how about you marry me? Reversed guitars levitating off the ground until they finally lift off into a clear blue sky of warm acoustic sunshine.
5:26 · 80 BPM
Finnish Winter
Wake me up in the middle of the night to catch a once in a lifetime glimpse of the bright dancing Northern Lights in this cold, dark and snowy place. Hypnotic, gloomy guitars and weary ahhs. Tired of waiting for the big glow.
3:19
Camel Riding
What was the straw that broke the camel's back? A rude bunch of tourists from Hackensack. Hypnotic African & Eastern drums, bass & hand claps, howling space guitars and a whining Indian violin.
2:45 · 116 BPM
Just Keep Going
Just another setback. How can it be? Nobody ever said life would be easy. West African polyrhythmic drums & hand claps, male mantra and ethereal fx from outer space.
