Artist Biography For Lawrence Blatt
San Francisco's Lawrence Blatt Delivers Piercing Original Compositions Played On Acoustic Finger-Style Guitar. His Unique Sound Stems In Part From His Fusion Of Classical And Modern Performance
techniques. Blatt Shares A Little About His Mode Of Playing To Create His Distinctive Sound. "As A Solo Instrumentalist I Have To Let My Guitar Be My Voice. I Try To Create Moods And Express Feelings By Using Alternate Tunings By Careful Attention To Musical Dynamics And Intonation And By Layering Percussive Sounds Behind The Main Voice Of The Guitar. Sometime Playing A Phase Softer Or Louder Can Have A Significant Impact On What Is Communicated. In Some Cases Being A Solo Instrumentalist Is Difficult Since I Cannot Use Lyrics To Directly Express My Thoughts And Feelings. In Another Sense This Is Highly Cathartic As My Music Can Communicate In Any Language And I Can Create New Patterns Of Communication Through Sounds And Rhythms." Blatt Performs In A Variety Of Styles "My Music Ranges From Soft Contemporary Compositions To Mysterious Pieces That Could Be Set In The 18th Century." Blatt's Music Unfolds In A Variety Of Genres Including New Age Adult Contemporary Soundtrack Flavors And Occasionally Fringes On Alternative Sounds. But Ultimately He Just Plays. When Speaking About His Latest Release "Out Of The Woodwork" Blatt Explains "I Did Not Set Out To Make An Album In Any Particular Genre. My Music Creates A Personal Oasis And Space Of Solitude In A Busy Life." Blatt's Music Has Strong Roots In Classical Theory The Product Of An Artist Who Spent Years Studying Classical Music As A Violinist. He Weaves In Modern Flavors And The Tapestry That Emerges Is An Intricate Interaction Of Melody. Any Discussion Of Blatt's Music Must Include Mention Of His Instruments. When Recording Blatt Can Be Heard Playing Two “very Special Guitars.” One Is A Custom Steel-String Guitar Crafted By Edward Dick. “This Guitar Has A Spruce Top And Indian Rosewood Back And Sides. It's Slightly Bell-Shaped Body Produces A Warm Deep Sound. I Waited Almost Eighteen Months For This Guitar To Be Completed And I Worked Very Closely With Edward During The Construction To Build The Guitar To My Exact Specifications.” The Other Guitar Is A Small-Bodied 12-Fret Parlor Guitar Made By Kathy Wingert. It Was Built With A German Spruce Top And Brazilian Rosewood Back And Sides. “This Tiny Guitar Packs A Powerful Punch And Was The Inspiration For The Title Track For My Latest CD “Out Of The Woodwork.” This Solo Artist Has Been Playing Acoustic Guitar For Over 30 Years. He Is Currently Performing His Original Compositions For Finger-Style-Guitar In The San Francisco Bay Area. His Music Has Been Called Heartwarming Soothing And Relaxing. His Music Consists Of Layers Of Guitar Work Decorated With Luscious Melodies And Percussive Moods. He Often Plays In Open Tunings With A Single Guitar Used To Create The Rhythm Bass And Lead Melody All At Once. His Latest Project "Out Of The Woodwork" Is A Compilation Of Thirteen Original Pieces And Is Available At CD Baby Amazon.Com ITunes Tradebit Musicishere And Other Fine Retailers. See What Others Are Saying About “Out Of The Woodwork” "Lawrence Blatt Is A Fingerpicker Much Interested In The More Progressive Aspects Of The Instrument Within A Purely Instrumental Milieu. He Possesses A Polished Style Glowing With Light And Introspective Intelligence But Also Casting Defining Shadows.." ..
