Esther's Memory

An aurally stunning collaboration between Turkish guitarist/composer Erdem Helvacıoğlu and American percussionist Stuart Gerber that merges the guitarviol with a variety of percussion to create a sound world unlike any other. Recorded during two days of improvising, Esther’s Memory explores the line between reality and illusion, memory and hallucination through the eyes of an elderly lady with dementia.
