Micro life by Ryan Pate / Andre Matos

Music of imaginative, inner landscapes emerges between California guitarist Ryan Pate and NYC/Lisbon guitarist André Matos. These two distinct improvisational voices find a natural affinity for dialogues in texture and color, discovering new paths of nuanced, musical narratives.

Thoughtful melodies co-exist and blend with the extended sonic possibilities of their instruments. The opening “Dreaming of Tiny Worlds” unfolds a story in waves of shifting harmonies, while the contrasting “Coaxial” is a frenetic, tightly wound debate. Micro Life contains many worlds in one.
