Aerial Boundaries

Aerial Boundaries was the groundbreaking instrumental album for guitar-wizard Michael Hedges. Recorded in 1984, this work remains a classic. This release has been called one of the most important acoustic guitar records ever made and remains his best-selling recording. Aerial Boundaries incorporates all the elements that characterize Hedges' music: astounding technique, innovative composition, and a spirit of daring exploration. Where many a musician with half of Hedges' ability would be prone to showboating, the guitarist seems to have thrown away the idea of ego altogether, opting instead for an almost ascetic purity of sound. The result is the groundbreaking music that this record captures. Although his life was tragically cut short in a 1997 automobile accident, Michael Hedges continues to wield tremendous influence over guitar music, especially among his fellow acoustic guitarists.
