KEVIN KASTNING & MARK WINGFIELD - THE WNYC SESSIONS

  • Kevin Kastning & Mark Wingfield: The WNYC Sessions
        (2025, cd, USA, greydisc)
Guitarist, composer and instrument-designer Kevin Kastning is best-known for playing multi-stringed guitars. On "The WNYC Sessions", Kevin played a 17-string hybrid classical guitar.
Add fellow guitarist, composer and sound-innovater Mark Wingfield, and you know you're in for an adventure.

The brand-new "The WNYC Sessions" got recorded live at the WNYC radio studios in New York City for a broadcast.
Seven pieces of music.
Seven meditative soundscapes.

Even without knowing that "The WNYC Sessions" is the duo's fifth release, it's obvious that Kevin Kastning and Mark Wingfield have performed and recorded together on various occasions.
Great interplay, but both players also get the necessary space to improvise.

The result is beautiful.

Check out 'Oculus 50', the opening track of "The WNYC Sessions", out on Greydisc records :
