FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 30, 2007 -- Solo electric guitarist Denis Taaffe, who uses regular guitar and guitar loops done on the fly, completes and releases his 100th full length modern rock guitar album entitled Modern Rock guitar Volume 100 "Natural Textures". The album has 17 tracks and a running time of 71:45.All of the material on the albums were recorded live and improvised on the spot.

Denis reflects on completing and releasing 100 albums. "Well, this album is a milestone for me as it is my 100th Modern rock guitar Album!!! This was a goal of mine, to complete and release 100 full length albums. This album is a solid album with concise themes and musical direction. I basically went with an initial direction which came out of the first track which to me sounded like a scene in a film which would show a mysterious creek, thus the track "foggy Creek". With this musical direction as a base to start from, it was easy to expand on the basic theme. The swamp theme is very silly but it also conjures many images that could picture in a film and it made creative musical ideas and directions easy to follow. It certainly is a rock album and I used my usual looping style and improvisation. Granted , I also had a lot of fun with tracks such as "cheap Lumber" and other tracks taking this theme of swamps to the extreme. But overall, I really like this album and from a listening viewpoint, it seems to flow very well as far as albums go and while each track was improvised, I do think they share a common vision and musical direction which makes for a very solid album.

As I worked with looping and creating these looping layers on the fly, I realized that I could improvise not only in a composition, but could improvise the composition itself. This really took some experimenting but now seems so much second nature to me. I mean, it removes any barriers, if you want to suddenly add a chord or another rhythm or have it go in a different direction musically this allows you to do so.
