Product Description

Gates of Gnomeria is a collection of Andy McKee original songs and two covers. His cover of Bjorks, Venus as a Boy is a stunning multi-track arrangement of one of her best known songs from her debut. Join by Bassist Jeff Schmidt on two songs, A Sphere and Dependant Arising, the songs on Gates of Gnomeria as a collection are more laid-back than on Art of Motion and larger musical ideas at the same time. Andy is the most innovative and exciting fingerstyle guitarist to emerge in years. Still in his 20's, Andy has developed a mastery of the 6-string guitar and the harp guitar that leaves me speechless. I find myself listening to his tunes over and over again, discovering new nuances every time. He is the most textural player of the instrument since Michael Hedges, and he creates sonic architecture worthy of the great modern composers for any instrument. - Don Ross

You probably saw a Youtube video of Andy and then decided to buy his music. Good choice. Andy McKee is currently one of the most critical talents in the world of guitar, combining his magical songwriting with refined technical skills and innovative techniques. His heart fills the music as he makes it all look so easy. Andy's music is timeless and truly valuable to listen to for relaxation or just for the sake of beautiful music.
