Holger Mummert

After the release of two albums “Wattenklänge ” as part of the guitar duo “Marcator/Mummert”, Holger Mummert now presents his first solo album with all songs composed and every instrument played by himself. The 14 instrumentals emerge from his musical roots represented by guitar bands of the early sixties and the fingerpicking style of Leo Kottke and others. Therefore, the various 6- and 12-string acoustic and electric guitars, electric basses and keyboards create an extraordinary mélange of sounds and melodies. But it is the unique sound of resonator guitars in particular, that meanders through the music on this album. Employing the lapsteel technique, Holger Mummert transports the colourful resonator sound into a new musical context giving it an almost human voice.
