After Touring almost a month with my Christmas Improvisations I decided it was about time to do some of my own compositions at the last concert abroad of this 4 week long tour. So here they are, The Mannheim Cycle and Marina Borealis, both written for 8-string Brahms Guitar and performed live in Sant' Agostino Church, Civitanova Alta 26th of December 2013. Thanks to the organisation and theatre of Civitanova Alta for inviting me to play and for organising it so well, it was a real thrill for me to play for so many people in such a wonderful church surrounded by paintings and beautiful art from Pietro Tedeschi, Italian painter. There is no reverb added in the recording, what you hear is just the natural reverb from this huge and beautiful church.
