About honey cadence:

Tone and variation of timbre are some of my favorite aspects of the guitar.

With melodies floating in my head, I aimed to highlight these unique traits,

while creating meditative intimacy.

Composed in December and January, the six pensive solos of honey cadence are

my first compositions to be recorded.

Some pieces began as improvisations and others were born out of a particular gestural idea.

Each title has a connection to music as well as general language,

i.e., ‘anticipation’ musical ornament and linguistically expresses expectation or prediction.

After the success of A Guitar Holiday,

I trusted Grammy winning producer Kabir Sehgal as a partner in the project.

I am grateful for the amazing mixing and mastering of Steve Hunt.

Thanks to Alex Fedorov for realizing my cover art vision and

transforming my Fanton D’Andon guitar photo.

May the album add some sweetness to your life.

Musically,
Aaron

2021 was many things, boring wasn’t one of them!

I’m not great at reflecting on the year, so I made a little list of some accomplishments as this year felt extra special:

• 13 premieres
• 2 albums issued
• 2 anthologies published
• 12 radio and podcast appearances
• 6 concerts
• 4 festivals
• 3 awards
• 1 article
• 450K+ streams!

Not bad for barely leaving home 🙂

May 2022 be all that you wish for and need. I’m preparing for some recordings, concerts (fingers crossed), and a surprise or two.

Thank you for being safe and sharing in my music.

Aaron Larget-Caplan
