\u2018Pondering On Perth Road\u2019 was written by Chris Amer after a week-long stay in the West End of Dundee in February 2017. Dundee\u2019s situation on the Tay estuary gives it a coastal atmosphere; in February, this meant a combination of expansive skies, cold fresh air, and winter light.<\/p>\n
All guitars played by Chris Amer.<\/p>\n
This track features on Chris Amer\u2019s new solo EP: \u2018Looking Northwards, As Daylight Extends \u2013 EP\u2019.<\/p>\n
Scottish guitar player Chris Amer is slowly but surely establishing a reputation for his tasteful, distinctive, musically intelligent playing style. Over the past few years Chris has developed an original sound that utilises space, texture and carefully chosen notes; this ethos informs both his musical voice as a guitarist and his work as a composer.<\/p>\n
Chris is a founding member of contemporary trio, \u2018Amer\/\/Hawksworth\/\/Munro\u2019, who released their debut EP in 2016. Chris has also released two solo EPs, the most recent of which was a collection of original multi-tracked guitar music \u2013 Looking Northwards, As Daylight Extends EP \u2013 inspired by various places, experiences and musings.<\/p>\n
Having completed his Jazz studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, Chris is currently working towards an MA in Scottish Music, exploring tune accompaniment on a unique guitar instrument built to his own design by Taran Guitars.<\/p>\n
