Created for both musical use and sound design, Fractured: Prepared Acoustic Guitar is an innovative new collection of instruments featuring creative and esoteric samples and manipulations of various acoustic guitars. Following the tradition begun by Violence, Vir2's virtual dismembering of a solo violin, Fractured features 2.3GB of compressed samples and more than one hundred new instruments with numerous variations and effects built into each.
Each patch features the organic goodness of the acoustic guitar, but stretches its timbre in new directions to create previously unheard musical effects.

HANS THEESSINK & BLUE GROOVE “LIVE” is a collection of Live recordings with my band at that time. We used to play a lot in Europe and N.America and we had a lot of fun while it lasted. This cd really demonstratres the interplay between vocals, guitar and tuba. Just the band and their audience without any studio manipulations. An uplifting mix of originals, classic blues, gospel and folk. Enjoy, Hans Theessink.
