« My musical tastes have always been eclectic. I love music, and, consequently if music moves me in some way, then I welcome it, be it: Jazz, Classical, Rock, Blues, Soul, New Age, World Music, Folk, Celtic, Pop, etc… I have always been particularly amazed at the incredible variety of textures and sounds that a guitar can produce. From this appreciation of guitar textures and varying musical influences came my interest to create this recording. » – Norman Learo

What the critics say:

« …a fascinating collection of instrumental textures that explore the entire spectrum of guitar sounds, from bagpipe-like squalls to flamenco meltdowns. It’s clear that Learo can do just about anything. » – Ron Foley Macdonald, The Daily News, New Brunswick.

« Norman Learo’s compositions are vivid, colourful and captivating. His hyper-virtuosic guitar style is supported by a deep musicianship. » – Michel Cardin
