When
you listen to as much music as I do, it’s hard to say that you’ve heard
something new, and on some levels this might not be new, per se, but it is
something that I haven’t heard done before, or at least not this well. The music of Forklong Daruplat consists of an acoustic guitar. That’s it.
There are notes, maybe chords, but overall this just has a strong
acoustic guitar sound to it and little else.
I
can hear some sort of rock n roll parts to this, where the guitar begins to
sound like a band such as Finger Eleven, though then it can also bring out the
folk. It could be described as an
instrumental John Denver, but that still doesn’t really do it full
justice.
It
gets a little bit heavy at times, almost frantic, and then at other times there
is a definite refined sound that reassures you this musician has been
classically trained. If nothing else though, this tape definitely
scores big with me because it just seems unfathomable that someone would be
able to create this entire cassette with an acoustic guitar and hold my
interest throughout. Yet, here we
are.
