The Italian composer Riccardo Komesar take his place in the vast panorama of instrumental guitar music with this debut album released by Torto Editions and Ramble Records: divided in three mid long tracks, “Tre storie per chitarra” is a condensed of contemporary lyricism and emotional soundscape: the mellow and distinctive fingerpicking is the drive of the journey, waving in circular patterns and evolving in the whole structure. His personal playing style is developed on a nine strings guitar, with the three single low strings and the double high strings, giving a unique essence and flavour to the compositions. In the booklet of the album Riccardo quotes a Jack London “Star Rover” excerpt, matching the mystic naturalism of his tunes with one of the most shamanic novels from the writer. The little bunch of words that are present in the compositions are the titles themselves, articulating the imaginary behind the poetics of the music, a very immersive experience that makes you float on sound.
