With her current album, Klara Tomljanovic breaks new ground in guitar music and impressively shows how experimentation can be done with the instrument.
The universal guitar can also be used as a field for experimentation. This is evident in Klara Tomljanovic's current album, which includes six works from the 21st century, most of them from recent years, all first recordings. Even anyone who thinks they know a lot about classical guitar will be amazed at what is still possible. Sometimes using props such as bicycle tubes and chopsticks, playing with a bottle on the strings, and sometimes using music boxes or his own voice, Tomljanovic extracts astonishing sonic values from his instrument. The boundaries of the percussion instrument are transcended and glassy, droning sound shapes are summoned from the tonal range or bright sounds are used using techniques from rock, pop and funk. Influences can also be heard from Spanish flamenco traditions and Japanese music. This results in wonderful areas of expression, interpreted with urgency and enormous intensity.
