Lyrical & passionate Spanish guitar music composed & performed by the Danish guitarist Kasper Soeborg.

"Realization" is the third and latest sologuitar CD by Kasper Soeborg in the acoustic Spanish guitar trilogy: "Levitation", "Evocation" and - now, finally: "Realization". Here you hear new guitar music composed during the period 2000 through 2002.

The music may at first appear classical, but there are indeed strong
influences from Flamenco, Latin-Jazz, Minimal Music and Folk Music. A study grant from the Danish Arts Foundation in 1999 made intensive Flamenco guitar studies in Sevilla possible. 

The inspiration gathered can be heard especially in "Solaris Solea", "Andaluzian Skies", "Sevilla by Night" and "The Spanish Raga" - the latter mixed with an Indian/Oriental Feel. Also, "The Rose from Sevilla" is based on patterns from "Alegria" and uses the Flamenco quintoplet-tremeloe, though its appearance has been turned into a classical waltz. As opposed to Kasper Soeborg's two previous solo CDs, "Realization" allows two steel 12-string guitar compositions to present yet another world of timbre, thus manifesting the "World Music" character of the album as well as the contrasts between the cool Nordic temper and the rather much more "hot Latino mood" of Spain and of Andalucia in particular. The recordings were produced with concern, love and understanding by Finn Olafsson, the ever best way possible. 

With its inspiration from nature and cosmos, "Realization" represents a new challenge to the guitar music listener. Although but one single musician - and one solo instrument - "Realization" will, hopefully, bring you on to an ear-opening journey into musical space and time. 12 delicate spheres of musical appreciation. Please enjoy!
