World/Flamenco
In Heat Of The Sun, we savor the harvest of fiftteen years of close, harmonious collaboration between two of the world's finest guitarists, Jorge Strunz from Costa Rica, and Ardeshir Farah from Iran. Improvisation is vital to the duo's music--each piece has a solo section where each player freely improvises, like a bird taking flight, capturing the spirit of the moment. They are in the vanguard of an innovative, international style of virtuoso playing that has been called "global guitar" or "latin guitar". On Heat Of The Sun, the guitarra latina (played with the hand) and the guitarra morisca (played with a pick) meet again and come full circle. Instrumental Guitar, total running time, 52:08

'Twins'
Review Featured In Minor 7th, December, 1999
 |
| Fingerstyle | |
parse and meditative, "Twins" features Belgian artists Gilbert Isbin on classical guitar and Geert Verbeeke on a variety of percussion instruments, some novel and ethnic. The liner notes describe the collaborative style as "expressive ambient, meditative lines and world music." As promised, some of the tracks are forays into not only ambient, but experimental territory. "Saskia Maya", "Secrets", "Threat" and "Loop" are formless and sometimes dysphoric ventures into soundscapes that have neither meter nor melody. Though some listeners are bound to dismiss these cuts as noodling around, it is an innovative and bold concept to experiment with ambient music in such a sparse instrumental context, sans electronics. Other songs are simplistic but contemplative such as "Royal Tune", "Open Day", "Apple" and "Child". These songs succeed not by any flourish of songwriting or technique but by simply evoking a mood.
