Wiek Hijmans Psalms

Wiek Hijmans “You are reading an old text with your guitar on your lap. The guitar you've grown into since your teenage years. You played a lot of very diverse music and it got into your bones. And your vision of this instrument apparently comes out as a direct reflection on those psalm texts.” This is how Wiek Hijmans describes the origin of his 150 guitar psalms for guitar solo.

Samir Amarouch Folded Lament (2020) – Sjors van der Mark & Frederik Croene

Guitarist Sjors van der Mark likes to push the boundaries. Boundaries of himself, the music and the instrument. This has developed into a predilection for contemporary music. This gives room for experimentation with sound, technique and musicality, with both the classical and electric guitar.
