The Best acoustic instrumental on Garageband
Inspiring...Makes me feel like getting my steel string out and playing it again. I listened twice, then played along on my classical and I'm listening now as I review. Love the strong opening on the E string... sets the mood wonderfully. Superlative playing. wonderful arrangement. 
String dynamics are out of sight love the way you slide into your progressions, pick work never misses a note. Great dramatic pauses in tempo and chord work. Great production values.
What can I say this is the best acoustic instrumental I've heard on Garageband. Stunning well done.
P.S. listened 5 times...still listening

Back Cover - Silk Brocade - Acoustic Guitar Impressionism

When I’m asked what this music is like… I really have no answer. 

“A distinctive collection of New Age, Folk, Jazz and Classical Guitar influences”..  makes a good sound bite. 

What influenced me the most when writing this music was Mussorgsky”s “Pictures at an Exhibition”.  Each piece is an acoustic guitar "story" (see song descriptions on the
"Listen to Silk Brocade " page).  I wrote these tunes to take you somewhere. I hope they do.

Once in the studio we tried out all kinds of ways to expand the sound of a acoustic guitar. An acoustic center surrounded by  “crazy experiments”. It was all quite interesting....  

Yours,
Ken Mahren
