A 1988 album and the sole release by little-known American guitarist Michael Coulon, who continued to pursue the guitar at an exceptionally high level throughout his life while maintaining a career as a scientist, and who was also acquainted with Windham Hill pianist George Winston. The album consists entirely of solo acoustic guitar performances and was mastered by Doug Sax, founder of The Mastering Lab. Making full use of the resonance of open strings and natural overtones, Coulon draws out a taut, fresh, beautifully vivid acoustic guitar tone. The music unfolds into an evocative sound world that brings natural landscapes vividly to mind.
