Breathe

Here’s the main theme of Mr. Fastfinger song Breathe. It’s the actual composition, rest of the song was improvised along the way and keeps changing during performances. This is the only copy I could find of the transcription, paper copy. In the left corner you can see Lasses notes made in the studio about the song structure. Well it actually ended up being shorter. with extremily slow tempo, we realize there shouldn’t be too many rounds of the parts.

Btw. I composed the theme almost 20 years ago. Was planning to put if on Mr. Fastfinger’s debut album but couldn’t make it work.The way to make this really happen for this second album was to get Thomas, Lasse and Kalle into the studio at the same time. we recorded the basic tracks all together.

Enjoy and Breathe!

First album reviews

“Well, first of all, clear your schedule. Once you push play the only thing you’ll be able to do for the next 59 minutes is feel the groove! For me that means involuntary head and feet movement plus copious amounts of air-instrumentation.”
9/9 stars from HOLLYWOOD METAL

“And again those contributions by famous guests are pleasant. But by no means essential. Because “In Motion” is strong as Hulk by Mr. Fastfinger’s very own rights. Without ever coming too close to mere fretboard freakiing, the album tells the story of a spiritual journey – almost without using words. In the end, Sensei has to confront his inner demons. We only give away this much: this can’t be achieved without some virtuoso guitar playing.”
