Orders via the website include 24-bit master tracks, liner notes, hi-res photos, a bonus track, 'Gulval,' a video download of 'Tintagel,' and three field recordings.

Composed, compiled, and recorded over five weeks in West Cornwall, 'Arta,' Cornish for “again,” melds sonorities created in-studio with field recordings collected in and near seven localities on the Penwith Peninsula and beyond. The work is offered as a classically inspired suite that attempts to fuse the natural sounds of Cornish autumn with the compositional elements they inspire. It serves as page two of a sonic love letter to Cornwall which began with the previous release, 'Kernow.'

Press / Reviews

“With 'Arta,' David Pedrick has created a wonderful tapestry of sounds that combines lush synthesizer tones with the field-recorded soundscape of West Cornwall. 'Arta' is a soothing sonic escape, a 'love letter to Cornwall' as David calls it.”

— Ambient Soundbath

“With an approach that pushes past cerebral boundaries, Pedrick is one of the most original guitar voices to arrive on the scene since Pat Metheny or John Abercrombie.”

— Critical Jazz

“Pedrick opened the show with a lick that would have made Jimi blush. ”

— Lancaster Intelligencer Journal
