‘Eclipse’ is a dark melodic techno track infused with Spanish Flamenco guitar. An interesting combination some might say - well let me tell you why.. 👀

I’ve always been fascinated by Spanish guitar because my mother used to play it very well. Unfortunately, she died when I was very small, and so I never got to hear her play 🥺

Her guitar used to sit in one of the rooms in my house collecting dust. I’d often go look at it, as it is probably the only thing I have to remember her by.
I then start learning to play the guitar myself, but I was focused mostly on playing rock and metal (so much angst) on an electric guitar and got to a pretty high level on it

One day I decided to give the flamenco style a try and picked up my mother’s guitar and started strumming away. I was hooked… 💪
I began to learn more about the style, strumming, and harmonies and found that both styles were very closely linked to the metal I was used to playing (ie. all mostly written in the Phrygian mode) 👌

Now a lot of my productions incorporate flamenco in some way or another, either the instrumentation or harmonies themselves 💃

Anyway, that’s the story behind the track - it’s about how even when the times appear dark there’s always some light at the end of the tunnel 🌙

Send it to a friend that will love melodic music too!
