No(w) Guitar

Guitarist Nico Couck and MATRIX [New Music Centre] have collected five pieces for one or more guitars for this publication. The pieces were not conceived with a pedagogical aim, however we feel they be performed by young and/or beginning music students. Throughout this compilation, young musicians are introduced to various extended techniques, contemporary instrument preparations, the use of a click-track and multimedial set-ups. We hope that the selected pieces and the attached demonstration videos will contribute to many hours of creative, well-enjoyed guitar playing. Either way there is no doubt that after reviewing this five-part collection a can of sardines, a plastic knife, a dog whistle or a cannister of compressed air will never look the same again!
