Aerial Boundaries

by Michael Hedges

Aerial Boundaries cover art

Recorded directly to two-track tape with no overdubs, this acoustic masterclass revolutionized modern fingerstyle guitar technique. Hedges employs unorthodox alternate tunings, two-handed tapping, and percussive body slaps to extract a full, symphonic sound from a single instrument. The record brought immense prestige to the Windham Hill label and fundamentally shifted the boundaries of solo acoustic performance.
