MARK WINGFIELD


Mark Wingfield.

Moonjune records :
Challenging the millenniums-old 'nothing new under the sun' assertion, the nose thumbing at convention continues: as pioneering UK guitarist Mark Wingfield provides the second installment of live look-in's while recording his first ever solo album. The track's backdrop is an immediate Eastern meditative drone, with the guitarist weaving his magic throughout this musical homage to the majestic mountain range which sprawls across Northwestern India. Gliding through the atmosphere, high above, we find Wingfield's soaring electric guitar providing the narrative – once again, in appropriate fashion, eclipsing traditional tonal bounds. Buckle up, and enjoy your flight!
