Volume one contains compositions from Austria, Australia and the USA, and have lullabies inspired by composers\u2019 children, song and the intimacy of singing to another, the end of night, poetry, longing for sleep, our troubled times, and of course, the melding of stars and moonbeams. On a theoretical level there are a variety of musical languages: tonal, 12-tone, contrapuntal, North Indian, First Nation, additive, minimalist, and quasi-improvisational. A few will stand out for their use of extended techniques, only three require scordatura, and harmonics abound!<\/p>\n<p>These compositions assert that the sonic boundaries of the guitar are only limited by the composer\u2019s imagination and physical abilities of the player.
