Crossings Album - Guitarists Jon Durant and Stephan Thelen on Big Blend Radio

<p>This episode of Big Blend Radio's Music Monday show features Swiss guitarist Stephan Thelen and his American counterpart Jon Durant who have teamed up for an international musical conversation. The pair conceived and executed the album “Crossings” during the Covid lockdowns of 2020. Each working in his own home studio, Thelen on Lake Zürich, Durant on the Willamette River, the pair fell into a remarkable sense of shared purpose as they developed the seven tracks that comprise the album. While the album was entirely done with guitars (and one bass part), there are frequent trips into sonic spheres that bear little resemblance to the traditional sounds of the instrument they share.</p> <p>More Info and to Purchase the Album: <a href='https://jondurant.bandcamp.com/'>https://jondurant.bandcamp.com/</a> <a href='https://stephanthelen.bandcamp.com/'>https://stephanthelen.bandcamp.com/</a></p> <p>Thanks to the National Parks Arts Foundation for sponsoring this episode - more: <a href='https://nationalparksartsfoundation.org/'>https://nationalparksartsfoundation.org/ </a></p>
