A quieting musical meditation, relaxing and healing. Inpired by mathematics and fantasy, it's all guitars: one steel, one nylon, two Ebowed electrics, and a bass. "A dreamy delight".
Bio / Background
Meditative guitars from the dawn of New Age music.
If this album had been released in 1978 when it was recorded and received any attention, it might have been an important early New Age album. The music comes from the experience of meditation and is concerned with fantasy themes and mathematics.
Steve Watt and Neil Ayer met in Denver, Colorado in 1977 and began playing acoustic guitar duets in local coffee houses and cafés. Steve is a classical guitarist while Neil’s roots are in blues, folk and progressive rock.
“Too Much” (one of Steve’s favorite expressions) was recorded in the mountains of Boulder, Colorado in 1978 on a TEAC four-track and the overdubs were done in Denver later that year. Initially, the performance was nearly an hour long and therefore “too much” for a vinyl album in the pre-CD age, so I started calling it “Too Much”. The name stuck, but ironically, after editing the tracks, only about 33 minutes of material survived.
