Wayne Lovegrove composes and performs musical imagery for contemporary solo fingerstyle acoustic guitar. Multiple tunings, extended techniques, harmonic richness, fluid compositional style, and technical skill, combine to bring out the natural expressive resonance of the steel string acoustic guitar. From flowing, deep, liquid echoes to passages of precise blistering speed, this is instrumental music that leaves the listener open to form their own images to these varied textures and sounds.
Wayne's playing incorporates an array of extended techniques including: alternate tunings; two handed fretboard work; guitar body percussion; and compositional freedom; in addition to a broad array of conventional fingerstyle techniques.
