‘Apocryphal’ texts can be defined in a few ways, but usually reference something outside the traditional canon or considered, at least by some, to be heretical. Since, in my opinion, heresy is often simply a synonym for questions that need to be asked or statements that need to be made, I thought ‘Apocrypha’ would be a fitting choice for this collection of pieces I chose to record. Each piece falls, in its own way, outside the usual or typical canon of ‘classical guitar music’ (however you define that), and is an exploration of a side perhaps missing from the usual picture people have of this ‘genre’.

Some of the works are new pieces that expand the repertoire or canon in new directions, some are new works which take inspiration from the language of past composers who never wrote for guitar, while others are works that are simply underplayed or underappreciated. I hope you enjoy listening to my 'Apocrypha'.
