Ravi Shardja - Quatre soliloques (vinyl record)

The setup is simple and decisive: a similar electronic device for each instrument played in the soliloquies, for a direct and introspective music that follows my psychic states. In this case, a lap steel guitar, an electric sanza, and a bass guitar. Three instruments for four soliloquies, as there is no numerical logic here. The bass guitar plays twice on side S, and that's how it is. Speech is banned. 'Four soliloquies' without voice or words: the title may seem paradoxical, I admit. However, it took no less than four instrumental attempts to try and translate the thread of my emotions and intellect.
