Artist Biography

Celebrated Montréal composer and guitarist Tim Brady unveils a three-disc set that offers a full picture of his vital musical imagination. Beginning with a series of atmospheric treated guitar solos, the set features a guitar quartet for his group Instruments of Happiness, a virtual concerto for improvisers (featuring himself, violinist Helmut Lipsky and tabla player Shawn Maitevesky) as well as two newly-remastered song cycles. Once praised by Guitar Player Magazine as “One of the 30 Most Important Guitarists for the Future of the Instrument” his imaginative and unclassifiable work—blending experimental rock, out-jazz, and contemporary composition—has garnered considerable international acclaim.
