FRACTAL GUITAR 4 is many things: instrumental music that fearlessly and uncomprimisingly explores the sonic and expressive potential of the modern electric guitar combined with digital effects, music that - thanks to drummer Yogev Gabay - is a masterclass in polyrhythmic drumming, music that is as precise as a Swiss watch, but that can also be free, wild and expressive. But, ultimately, it captures a passionate and urgent ‚Search for the Miraculous,‘ a search for timeless music that reflects the tragic contradictions of the human condition in its general and current state, where there is light as well as darkness, hope as well as despair, truth as well as illusion.
