A creative composer that is able to translate his years of growth into his writing is what makes his music as tastefull as it is, yes he is a skillful guitarist, yet his priority to compose first makes his guitar playing a secondary element in the end product. Haymo is knowledgeable in jazz and rock, yet persues music ideas that are not the norm for those genres, his sense for density in arrangements and blending different sounds and modes makes each individual song intriguing.

One should not expect a cd that offers a look at Haymo Doerk as a mere everyday guitar slinger, his approach is much more mature and refined, like his contemporaries of Metheny, Illengerger, etc, his writing approach is from song structure and mood settting first, and behind that his guitarplaying shines in an unobtrusive way. The story behind this cd is an interesting one, he states that he had worked on the material for nearly 7-8 years, and by the time he was wanting to complete the recordings, he realized that recording technology had advanced in leaps and bounds, so with a year of hard at it re-recording he finally finished, and this cd is the end result of almost a decade of work. Might I add that this cd is full of great music of many different forms, and provides a great listen everytime around.
