Konnakol is a technique to sing, count and compute complex rhythms. The method derives from the south indian music tradition - Carnatic music.
To quote John McLaughlin: "If you can understand konnakol, The most superior system of leaning rhythm in the world, You can understand any rhythm from any country on the planet"

This is both my latest solo double album - with 24 solo compositions for guitar - but also my shrine of ideas for the future.
Because I put 4 years of intense research into this project trying to point out a new horizont for both myself but also for guitar music. There are intervallic studies, and studies of exotic scales etc. The whole mission was to create music - and not just exercises but melodic stories. So every single one of the 24 compositions can stand alone.
