Leaving Rome

This collection of classical guitar pieces is an invitation to contemplation—a journey inward, into the heart of pure resonance, where each note seems suspended in time. From the very first measures, the listener is drawn into an atmosphere of sonic intimacy, where the guitar doesn’t merely play: it speaks, it whispers, it breathes.

The interpretation is refined, favoring expressive depth over flashy virtuosity. The dynamic range is handled with great musical intelligence, unfolding in subtle shades that move from the faintest breath to controlled outbursts, never abrupt. The touch is silky, almost organic, revealing the full palette of timbres the instrument has to offer—from warm, woody basses to crystalline, glass-like highs.

Each piece seems chosen not to showcase technique, but to construct a sonic architecture—a sensitive narrative in which silence matters just as much as sound. There is a listening to emptiness here, a respect for the passage of time, as though the music were aligned with the secret rhythm of breath or heartbeat.

The slower pieces, in particular, carry a gentle gravity, almost meditative. Shadows drift through them—memories, fragments of emotion touched lightly by the strings, never fully named. The more rhythmic passages pulse with contained energy—not seeking to dazzle, but to resonate, to set the guitar’s inner harmonics dancing.

The recording itself contributes to this atmosphere: likely captured in a natural acoustic space of wood and stone, it faithfully conveys the breath of the performer, the friction of fingertips, the floating harmonics. Nothing is sterile; everything feels alive, fragile, human.

This album is less a demonstration than a space—a space of calm, of slowness, of beauty. It reminds us that the classical guitar, in its most honest simplicity, can be one of the most direct ways to reach the essence of music: a shared emotion, without words, beyond eras and borders.

Alive (w/ The David Roy Collective & Matthew C. Reynolds)

During autumn, the feeling of nostalgia, which surfaces especially during this time of year, grows stronger within me. With the sustained rhythm and rapid passages of notes, I tried to evoke the wind and storms that often accompany this season.
