A Minor Piece For Harry Vederci
"The third CD from renowned Australian instrumentalist Cary Lewincamp.
This album released Dec 2004 takes listeners for another float down the
river of Cary's musical universe, which is a place of inner beauty. In
contrast to so much hectic, aggressive, angst-ridden music that we hear
these days, Cary's original solo guitar music will take you to a place
of stillness, calm and focus. Cary's instrument is the seven-string
acoustic/electric guitar - yes, seven. The extra bass string on the
specially built hand made Rizzolo guitar that Cary plays gives a wider
tonal range and more warmth. The jazz-style arch-top metal strung
instrument lends itself well to the intricate playing style Cary has
developed, allowing the subtle nuances of his playing to shine through.
Lewincamp's style has elements of jazz, folk guitar, fingerstyle blues,
and echoes of classical technique. These blend into an individual voice
that is finding an increasingly wide audience nationally and
internationally.
The reasons why Cary Lewincamp is one of the best selling independent
artists in Australia become apparent after listening to his music. Much
music in the contemporary scene has only transient appeal, designed for a
quick hit, a catchy hook, and will be forgotten soon enough. Cary
Lewincamp's compositions, however have a complexity and depth to them,
which means they can be appreciated on a number of levels. Yes, you can
use this music as quiet non-intrusive background while you work or
meditate, or you can deeply focus on the layers, harmonic shifts, and
themes within the music. On repeated listenings, these CDs are likely to
grow on you, and repay close attention, if you like to enjoy your music
that way.
Whatever your listening styles may be, if you have an appreciation of
fine acoustic music, you will find a great deal to enjoy on this and
Cary's other two previous releases."
