GT:
What is it about guitar instrumentals that appeals to you?
HG:
The fact that it leaves space for everyone to put something personal into it. Instrumentals impose less than a song with vocals. For us, instrumentals have always been a way of connecting within ourselves, it’s way more inwards. So therefore, you make it your own soundtrack and there’s this potential to personalise an instrumental song. We believe in the power of instrumental music, inspired by classic symphonic orchestras and many music scores. And since we all live our own life, our own movie, instrumentals can enforce the moments and how we perceive them.
