Stick Street by Per Boysen

Instrumentals performed on the Chapman Stick. The idea for this album came up from street busking; every day several people approach me to buy CDs. And since I initially had no "Stick only" CDs I decided to make a Stick CD and do my best to capture the very special street magic. I can also tell that playing for three months in the streets has taught me things about music that none of my professional touring and recording has even come near! The street audience is a tough judge that made me scrap a lot but I do feel grateful for the new things I've learned, stuff that I'm now channelizing into this album.

Main amplifier used is a Fractal Audio AxeFxII for track #5, #8, #12, #13 while the other pieces were tracked playing through a Macbook Pro with Mainstage 3 or Logic Pro X and RME Fireface400.

Swedish multi-instrumentalist and composer Per Boysen has performed many shows around Asia, Europe and the USA – both as a solo performer, in duets and with ensembles. Appearances in general public areas as well as at world famous institutions like the Swedish Norberg Festival, Présences Électronique in Paris and the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam.
