Details:
Dark Tales is a project which combines elements of quasi-impressionist classical, Latin-jazz infused with Nuevo-Spanish undertones, and experimental âfree-formâ improvisations. The line-up consists of English guitarist Dale Harris (better known as a Classical-Spanish guitarist) and Jez Henderson (drums/percussion) plus some special guests. The result is a musically satisfying, open-minded outing. Harris sounds rejuvenated and refreshed in this format, as he switches between Classical, Steel-strung acoustic and an electric guitar that is occasionally played in combination with a midi-triggered guitar synthesizer. The result produces some luminous timbres and textures that eases the usual hard attack of the electric guitar and drums.

Brother and Sister is a bluesy theme followed by an indian-esque solo section with a sitar-like guitar solo. The percussion moves to the fore in Out Back (Part II) where imaginative landscapes are created. Cruise Control is a fusion of a Spanish-Jazz-rock and descends into a 1970âs rock-shuffle rhythm. Rob Hermans (jnr.) sensitively reads the poem âI found a shellâ written by his late father Robert Hermans (snr) accompanied with some deeply resounding harmonies created by Dale Harris on his electric midi-guitar.
