I proposed the idea of recording Segovia's original compositions to GuitarCoop, and they liked it.

I recorded the project at USC because I didn't want to risk taking Segovia's guitar to Brazil.

I was blown away by this guitar and thought instead of trying to buy it, let's do a recording project with it.

The title 'Mysterious Barricades' comes from a track by François Couperin that is included in my album.

The project 'The Segovia Sessions' started with me trying out guitars at the Guitar Salon in Los Angeles, where I found a Ramires guitar that I was instantly blown away by.

I recorded my NAXOS album as part of the GFA prize, and it was unique because I had the freedom to create something that I wanted, rather than what a record company might typically push for.

The church where I recorded has a unique acoustic quality due to its mix of brick and wood, which enhances the guitar's sound.

I commissioned Sergio Assad to write a piece titled 'The Walls' for solo guitar and guitar orchestra, which portrays four historic barriers: the Great Wall of China, Hadrian's Wall, the Berlin Wall, and the Israeli West Bank Barrier.

I find that collaborating with different musicians helps me think about instruments in new ways, especially since a significant portion of my music features guitar.
