This my definitive homage to the memory of master Ralph Towner. The collection comprises 8 of his compositions: new mixes of 6 tracks previously featured in Chromatographies vols. 1 to 4, plus two previously unreleased pieces, Beneath An Evening Sky and Serenade, opening and closing the set. Rest in peace Master Towner.
Tracks featured in this collection:
A small jam dedicated to the master. Rest in peace master Towner.

Ralph Towner, composer, pianist, guitar master, left this world today. For me personally, no words can describe the magnitude of this loss. Towner has been the greatest influence on my musical life, an endless source of wonder, inspiration and joy.
Rest in peace master Towner.
A telecaster from Suhr came into our hands. Black and gold. Maple neck and fingerboard. Low action, smooth playability, wonderful tele tones.
Listen to the new Suhr telecaster in action in the latest track released for the Chromatographies project, the beautiful “ASIA” by Paul Motian:
“The Singles Collection” is a compilation album featuring a selection of tracks from the first 4 volumes of Chromatographies.
Chromatographies is the jazz and ambient guitar project of Carlos Ibanez. The recordings consist of solo guitar performances that alternate improvised ambient guitar meditations with jazz guitar pieces.
Tracks featured in this collection:
“Synaptic Wisdom”, the latest track in the Chromatographies project, is an ambient guitar meditation to bring focus on the inner workings of our synapses. Totally improvised on the Casimi C5S baritone acoustic guitar tuned to open D, it is meant as a background to meditation and introspection.
The pedalboard v5 in use since June 2023 introduced many changes from the previous iteration.
