Steve Swartz is a musician and composer from Detroit, MI and Nighttide marks his first solo instrumental outing away from the bands Au Revoir Borealis and For Wishes. Where his involvement in those groups focuses his musical output in the form of more overtly structured songs, this new work shows a fresh creative approach to his guitar playing that finds him creating a more expansive sound than found in previous works. After becoming a father, Steve found himself inspired by the simple and meditative chords he would play for his daughter while she drifted off to sleep. These ideas were turned into a dense fabric of textures using traditional guitar playing techniques as well as unconventional methods such as manipulating guitars with oscillating fans, mallets, curtains blowing in the wind, sympathetic string ringing, etc. The result is a fluid and completely immersive listening experience.
