ABOUT

The Elements Originally written for 6-string guitar, I have adapted it for 10-string and prefer to play it on that instrument now myself. It is a poetic essay on the origin of the Earth. 
I. Fire I conceive as the original burst of energy that birthed this planet. 
II. Earth is solid ground featuring repetitive modal chords that accompany a slow melody. 
III. Air is that moment to reflect and brood on creation itself and 
IV. Water the careening, tumbling whirling thing we call life.
