I am honored to be recognized for the work put into this piece. Six String Sonics, The is a project to reinvent the band and increase music's potential. For example, six guitar players play six single string guitars in place of the standard guitar. This made it possible to play new chords and melodies which were impossible to reach on conventional guitars, and thereby broadening the range of musical expression.
One of the thrills of art is that it hints at new views and possibilities outside of the norm. In this project, a six string guitar is reinvented as six single string guitars to be played by six musicians. Though this idea had been in the artist's mind for years, recent digital effects processing technologies finally made the project a reality. Their unique stage presence redefines the relationships between the body and space in live music. The lively expressions of the musicians make quite an impression.
