Daniel Heikalo “The Art of the Prepared Guitar” with a Free Download

"A prepared instrument has objects fastened onto the strings to physically modify the sound, thus producing a new, and very varied array of sounds. In my opinion, it creates very beautiful sonorities. It substantially enlarges the sonic palette that I can draw from as a guitarist, and it does so without having to make use of electronic sound-modifying devices.



The pieces on this recording were all one take unedited improvisations. The oldest dates from September 1985 and the most recent one from March 1996.
Most of the pieces are solo explorations. Ken Shorley joins in on percussion on a few."
