"Shadow In A Sun Filled Room"

Acoustic Solo Guitar with a classical, folk rock, raga feel.

This was done in 2000 on the old Tascam tape machine. I was listening to a lot of classical guitar and sitar music. The attempt here was to create emotional light and dark passages that could play under an old black and white ghost movie.

"... Pleasing, warm, and melodic. The approach is musically adventurous, exploring the boundaries where expression and instrument converge into new sound creations. An exemplary guitarist, somehow we hear more than the notes of one simple instrument. Uniquely expressive"... - NAPRA MAGAZINE

Raga (color/hue, beauty/melody) is associated with seasons and different times of the day. So, too, does raga shape this album, moving from sunset to night, indoors, outside. If Message Service is chaos and brutal beauty in the jungle, here in contrast is the sharp joy of civilization, and duality. Sunset barrel-rolls sweet folk rock sound. When Bells Ring and Old Trees are like columns of insight, with straightforward attention to detail.… The rhythm-base in Shadow is as powerful as a confession, like the stress that beautiful structures endure as time and crowds pass--the lucid, lucent underbelly. The sensation of driving through fields with a guitar virtuoso in the backseat, to drink cognac in a solarium. Pleasure and anticipation. The Japanese aesthetic wabi sabi is applicable--a worldview that finds beauty in imperfection. In the forlorn, open-air sounds (Nice To Leave, Distinction) there is dusk and slowing, moving alongside an opening of brightness and polar light. Crafted with finesse and classical influence--growth and decay together here in an elegant pas de deux. Effect: sunlight captured in resin. Stand-outs: ***Into The Night and the magnificent On The River. Purposeful. High-level mastery. - Kodiak

The albums in this catalog are such natural extensions of each other that they are like different sections of a map of the mind. Part dream-world, part outer space, water, and terra firma, rising out of expert oceans. Here is a musician with admirable instincts and the ability to incorporate gristle with beauty. Artisanal-like attention to detail. A pattern of cosmic elements (e.g. Interstellar Space and Universe) is a constant invigorating thread. This is music to capture gravity and transcend the world of microaggression. De Gennaro serves up his ethereal thoughts--no easy task. Powerful solo work that is curative, rousing, more calming than Klonopin. A riveting force. - Kodiak
