Long Hallway, Three Slightly Open Doors

from This May Be The End​/​Long Hallway by Eric Carbonara

/

about

This may be the end is a tapestry of intricately repeating guitar phrases woven into layers of interlocking, syncopated, phase in/phase out patterns...a melodic rhythm that will keep your head bobbing as much as spinning. Melodic lines (often expressed through layered ebows) enter as quickly as they depart, leaving no central theme except the interlocking Reichian pattern. This may be the end feels almost like two pieces of music with a bridge of synthesized waves between the two patterns, the latter being a more subtle come down to the vortex of chaotic bliss in the first section.

Long Hallway, Three Slightly Open Doors is a step in a different direction, without a central rhythmic or melodic theme, the piece is a beautifully meandering stumble of notes falling from the guitar. A perfect counterpart to the first piece's tenseness, Long Hallway is loose, patient and indirect about it's objectives, causing the listener to react more than anticipate.

Recorded in his home studio, Nada Sound Studio, from 2003 to 2006, both pieces are a far cry from Carbonara's solo guitar work, showing his depth as an arranger/composer in the studio beyond that of a solo improvisor.
