Bare Wood is a compilation of pieces I created between 2002 and 2012. For this album I deleted all electric or electronic instruments from the original recordings and removed anything that was not Flamenco guitar or cajon. I then recorded additional Flamenco guitar parts and Jon Gagan recorded entirely new upright acoustic bass tracks for every piece. What emerged was the essence, the soul, the bare wood of the music. --Ottmar Liebert
