Erik Wøllo is a Norwegian guitarist. He might not be known as much as his Anglo-Saxon counterparts such as Tommy Emmanuel or Earl Klugh but his music is still very interesting. In his official website it is stated that his music covers a wide range including Jazz and Rock but I would say that his music is mostly meditative or atmospheric. If you want something to help you meditate or relax you can certainly find many of his tracks that will suit this purpose. Some critics also categorise his music as World Music or even New Age. Nevertheless he composes for Films, Ballets and the theatre and has even played in the USA and Canada.Podcast description:TRACK 1: Blue Mountain - From Guitar Nova. This track borders on the classic. It is not one of his most orignal compositions but it is a really good piece. The style also reminds me much or Acoustic Alchemy.TRACK 2: Hjallepallo - From Guitar Nova. I hope trying to read the track name didn't make your tongue go into a knot! ... and don't ask me what it means neither. Its in a very different style from the previous track, this time bordering on the jazzy style though not quite jazzy.TRACK 3: Sedona - From Blue Sky Red Guitars. This is a very quiet and meditative track and it sounds quite celtic to me though it has some elements of Carlos Vamos as well. Strange combination.Enjoy the music.PLECTRUM
