ELIXIR STRINGS - OCTET: A VIRTUAL GUITAR ENSEMBLE
Ever wondered what happens when you mix a prog-hop artist from Los Angeles, an extreme shredder in Vienna, fingerstyle acoustic award winners from UK and Canada and more?
Well, that’s exactly what guitarist/composer Chris Woods set out to discover when he started writing ‘Octet.’ Featuring Elixir Strings artists, ‘Octet’ weaves a sonic tapestry of strident electric rhythm guitars, delicate acoustic sections and full-on shredding, with each artist getting to stretch their creative wings. From 5-string bass to 8-string fanfret guitar—the piece is a celebration of the instrument, its versatility and diversity!
