Patrik Carlsson is one of a hot new generation of exciting instrumental guitarists to have come out of Sweden in the new millennium. His debut release "Phraseology" (LMC107) was released in 2004 on Lion Music and now his follow up, Melodic Travel, sees Patrik take a turn into more traditional music waters to produce a very visual and melodic instrumental release that combines Patrik's guitar flash with some folk and jazz inflections. On the new music's nature Patrik comments, "This was first meant to be a folk/jazz-inspired trip to the heart of Swedish traditional music. But then I changed my mind and started to explore various sidetracks and musical solutions. The final result was a lot of different alternatives and in the search for the melodic treasures new discoveries were made." Each song on Melodic Travel has its own story, and to accompany the release, Patrik's official web site will have illustrations to visualise each song's story and mood. Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Shred/Hard Rock), total running time, 70:14 - Patrik Carlsson @ iTunes!
