NYC-based guitarist, composer and technologist Pontus Gunve\u2019s music embraces the theory that music is a multi-dimensional experience and an adventure in wordless storytelling that fully absorbs the audience. Flowing through time and space, the sonic textures he creates evoke the ethereal landscapes of other-worldly multi-media artists like Jean Michel Jarre and Boards of Canada while still clearly inspired by the thick, dark compositional textures of legendary heavy metal bands like Megadeth.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gunve was first fully gripped by his passion for music when he saw Jean Michel Jarre\u2019s Rendezvous Houston: A City in Concert on television as a child growing up in Sweden. Blown away by Jarre\u2019s all-encompassing high-tech stage show and the endless layers of his album Oxygene, Gunve began to explore the capabilities of computers to create different sounds and textures. His fascination with rock music led him to electric guitar, which he began to study voraciously, simultaneously imagining ways to expand its boundaries. At the same time, he experimented with sequencing and learned how to build computer and synthesizer modules that could be used practically during performances and on recordings.<\/p>\n

In a review at Music Emissions, NLathy said this of the track, \u201cThe most profound and memorable moments come on \u2018Kraken & Cavalary of Camels.\u2019 The intro sizzles and draws me in. It keeps my attention level high even when things start to drag a little bit\u2026But the song gains needed momentum about half way through the 8:05 excursion. There’s a searing guitar which provides plenty of fascination.\u201d In an upcoming review at Music Street Journal, Jason Hillenburg said, \u201cGunve largely abandons rock music here in favor of a stricter symphonic approach allowing room for exploration. The music breathes more and the versatile use of space in the quieter sections is another example of the wide range of dynamics at Pontus ‘ disposal.\u201d Don\u2019t take their word for it, though, check the video out at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WMCN1RRna0E.<\/p>\n
