"Ghosts In My Pocket" is a selection of acoustic guitar improvisations.
Being an electric guitar player most of my time made it really special for me to record an acoustic album. Being so close to the resonating body evokes an intimacy and immediacy which brought out new aspects of my playing.
This album is an exploration of the different qualities of this particular instrument, its dynamic range, tunings, picking tecchniques and preparations.
Electronic treatments create an extended ambience. A space in which the songs can appear like ghosts - something that is present yet invisible.
