With the record "Draw the Strings Tight", the guitarist Kenneth Meyer presents new music for solo guitar. The CD contains world premieres of musical discourses on love, reflections on the nature of memory, the search for truth in the many voices of reality and meditations on meaning and pleasure. The title of the album evokes the challenges faced by composer, performer, instrument and listener in their collaboration.
In addition to the premiere recordings of music by Kevin Ernste (whose work also includes the recorded voice of the poet Pablo Neruda), Edie Hill, Jesse Jones, James Piorkowski and Nicolas Scherzinger, this album also includes the Drei Tentos (1958) by Hans Werner Henze.
