7. Epilogue: Convergence (of the emo attack turtles)

A concept album about the elusive emo attack turtle. Az recorded this album on June 20, 2010 in Berkeley, California. Using one guitar, one microphone and one computer, he wanted to create a work that embraced his love of improvisational music and the acoustic guitar. The result is an album comprising of two solo guitar suites: emo turtle suite and attack turtle suite; as well as a closing piece entitled epilogue: convergence of the emo attack turtles. The music crosses genres and draws as much from the contemporary acoustic fingerstyle guitar genre as well as rock, jazz and film music. Preview and buy the album here! 

"Not only is "Emo Attack Turtle" by Az Samad (2010) a rare glimpse of the exquisite Tortugus metastemoticus, it is also a wonderful collection of music from a master of the guitar." Amazon.com Customer Review
