9 Studies and Fugue for Contemporary E-Guitar

This collection of compositions explores the expressive and technical possibilities of the electric guitar within contemporary music. Combining extended techniques with traditional polyphonic practices, these studies offer a structured yet innovative approach to the instrument. While deeply rooted in the aesthetics of art music, the collection also acknowledges the electric guitar’s inherent connection to rock and popular music.

Each study focuses on a specific technique, from conventional articulations to advanced methods involving modular effects such as distortion and e-bow. The pieces can be performed individually or as a cohesive cycle, linked by recurring melodic and rhythmic motifs.
