"One of the most extreme and virtuosic guitar players today creates compositions of repetitive and non-repetitive modular structures with speed, intensity and a profound inner logic. Included here are five breathtaking solo pieces and ten lightening fast pieces for guitar and drum machine that will make your head spin. Brilliantly combining the power of rock with a classical asceticism, this is unique and mysterious music from a masterful young musical experimentalist."

Notes
RR-1, RR-2, OSS-1, OSS-2 and Mithring-1 were written for live performance as Octis. RDD-4, RDD-5, RDD-6, RDD-7, RDD-8 and RDD-9 were originally intended for use in Orthrelm but somehow became solo guitar pieces. IOMM-1, IOMM-2, DSS-1 and DSS-2 are variations on a very similar model. All things were written between the years 2002-2005. Thank you all.
