I've been experimenting with alternate guitar tunings and landed on DGDGBD, a rather Jimi Page kind of tuning. Also, I've been exploring some Romanian folklore music and some themes and ideas started to seep into my music. A good friend of mine and amazing violin player, Sabin Penea was in town, so I invited him to partake in the making of the song. I was hoping for maybe one or two tracks of violing and ended up with more than 30!!!
'Early Wine' is a complete journey in itself, starting with the folklore-infused idea and orchestration, then taking a left turn to jazz fusion, and ending up with a heavy rock variation of the beginning.
Prepare to be spirited away on an epic journey!
