Dale Harris and Jez Henderson: Dark Tales

From dreamy soundscapes to the aggressive, Spanish-classical, acoustic steel-string and electric-midi guitars, drums and percussion, composed and improvised gems infused with world and jazz sounds.
Dark Tales is an exciting and unique project that combines elements of quasi-impressionist classical, latin-jazz infused with nuevo-Spanish undertones, and experimental improvisations.

The line-up consists of two English musicians: guitarist Dale Harris (better known as a concert classical and acoustic guitarist) and drummer-percussionist Jez Henderson plus two special guests, Caroline Nemorin on Flute and the voice of Rob Hermans.

All of the tracks introduce original compositions by Harris, Henderson and Hermans. The result is a musically satisfying and open-minded outing. Harris sounds rejuvenated and refreshed in this format, as he switches between classical, steel-string acoustic and an electric guitar that he often plays in combination with a midi-triggered guitar synthesizer. The result produces some luminous timbres and textures that eases the usual hard attack of the electric guitar.
