multi-layered compositions for guitar
INNER SOUND neo-classic & ambient music
Stefan Grasse manages to move his audience from the very first notes.
Inner Sound" is the beginning of a journey from inner worlds of sound to new forms of musical expression. With the help of electro-acoustic effects and samples, the artist embeds the natural acoustics of his guitar in sonorous soundscapes. In addition to atmospheric, shimmering, colorful solo pieces, Grasse combines several instrumental voices in his "Soundscapes" to create multi-layered, pulsating compositions. In doing so, he becomes a musical storyteller, depicting the moods of nature or reviving impressions of a journey through the Alps in "Lontano e oltre i monti". In the composition "Inner Sound", he not only refers to a contemplative inner sound, but also to the fjord of the same name near the Isle of Skye in Scotland, where he lived for a year.
The metamorphosis, the transition from sea to land, symbolizes the changes in sound that Stefan Grasse makes to his instruments and compositions.
"Stefan Grasse doesn't need a rhythm instrument or drums, he limits himself to the guitar alone, with which he sometimes gives the impression of playing an entire orchestra. Stefan Grasse is a phenomenon, a perfectionist and an expert on his instrument." Robert Unterburger Donaukurier 28.04.2023
