Guitar Nine Records - Interviews . More Interviews Synesthesia is the project name and the title of the new CD from guitarists David Martone of Canada and Navid Nikbakht of England. An acoustic duo effort, the CD fuses elements of Latin, Asian, flamenco, jazz and rock to create a unique and individual recording. Nikbakht and Martone met in 1992 while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston.
Synesthesia is the pair's first professional collaboration together.
Dan McAvinchey caught up with Martone and Nikbakht to discuss their new release and the methods they used to record the exciting and exotic sounds heard on the mix. David, an acoustically dominated release is quite a change from your electric progressive style found on your two solo CDs. There were a few things that led up to this. Firstly, I have had this flamenco virus in my body for the last two years and it finally culminated in a release with Navid and myself. I am very fond of the nylon string since that is what my father started my on.
