Kawol Samarqandi is a composer and improviser of guitar from seaside Japan. His compositions are delicate fragments of incredible beauty and introspection.
Kawol Samarqandi's ethereal recording Silence Notes and Structures 1 follows his exquisite album of covers. On Silence Notes and Structures 1, Kawol explores the subtle balance between silence and notes and the result is a magically crafted recording where the space between notes is as poignant as the nuanced notes he delicately picks.

This is the first album of the group of works that form the core of my work. There is literally just one acoustic guitar and voice, occasional "silence" and atypical "notes" and the simple unfinished "structure" formed by them. This is probably the skeleton of my "poor music".
