Guitarist Jonathan Barlow is inspired by the music he hears in everyday life. Instead of arranging his compositions for an orchestra, he uses sounds of household objects to fulfill the roles of traditional instruments and often alters the tone of his guitar by playing the instrument in combination with bobby pins, wine glasses, and even his daughter’s toys. Listeners may also notice the sounds of pages turning, hitting cushions, whistling, lap drumming, humming and striking the guitar. This music is ambient and melodic with classical undertones balanced by simple forms and inviting sonorities
I did a violin and guitar duo for my ceremony and cocktail hour and can’t picture doing it any other way! Rave compliments from my guests. Don’t skip this it MAKES the whole vibe.
