Name: Micron V by Rob Higginbotham
Duration: 5 min 14 s
Description: Pulled between poles of sonorous melody and abstract expressionism, this 2013 recording captures the tension of hope and dread, meaning and senselessness. Inspired by the mystery of the Mandelbrot set, these five pieces look at the beauty of math, faith, sorrow, symmetry, and the illusions we accept as reality.

Nylon and steel guitars, viola, cajon, upright and synth bass, odd time signatures, sky scraping leads, entrancing rhythms, complex harmonies and cicadas

1 With Hands Raised To The Sky

A wedding present for my friend Caleb. We had a guitar duo for a brief time. I'm not blaming his marriage for our breakup, but, well... 

It's a solo piece with a looped beginning, so a solo duet if you will. DADGAD tuning, different time signatures, recorded in Rob Frazier's home studio around 1999.
