about

‘Guitar Impromptus’ is a collection of freeform compositions for four and more classical guitar parts with added effects.
Mathieu’s first instrument is the guitar and as a student he used to record his improvised sketches onto a 4 track tape machine whilst learning how to compose for the instrument.
Many years later, Mathieu revisits this idea of multi-layered guitars to form standalone cinematic compositions or guitar ‘tableaux’. This is in keeping with his contrapuntal and polyphonic composing style and it offers organic impromptu journeys into his inner creative self.
