Rafael Toral:
Built around the emotional, harmonic splendor of Traveling Light, Guitar Concert displays the present stage in the evolution of Rafael Toral's own 40-year path with the electric guitar, which it also celebrates.
Besides Traveling Light (a new album of jazz standards produced in parallel to Spectral Evolution), Guitar Concert invites the audience to reconnect with landmarks of Toral discography, including pieces from Sound Mind Sound Body or Violence of Discovery and Calm of Acceptance, along with material from his acclaimed Spectral Evolution and spontaneous moments like the new piece Layers.

It's Toral's ongoing movement towards a a wider understanding and more engaged connection to the guitar, more committed to taking risks and challenges.
A perfect successor to the unanimously well received Spectral Evolution Live performances, Guitar Concert is also a celebration of beauty and light, a humble attempt to honor the notion of music as a “healing force of the universe”.

Blue Lake:
The gentle evolution of Blue Lake has been a joy to witness. Over the course of six albums written and recorded in a relatively short period of time, Jason Dungan’s increasingly ambitious project has moved from off-kilter improv through ECM-styled pastoral jazz into a kind of post-rock-informed bucolic Reichian ambi-pop.
Blue Lake is the instrumental project of peripatetic Texan composer Jason Dungan, now based in Copenhagen. Like William Tyler, Dungan mixes intricate, journeying Americana with ambient sound design and heady grooves, in this case infused with the wintry blush of Scandinavian folk.
