Creating "Cartagena":
While reading James Michener's "Caribbean" quite some years ago, I always had a fascination with Cartagena Columbia. Namely, the Castillo San Felipe Fortress and surrounding city. Today, Cartagena flourishes as a major port city in South America, and is indeed a city for lovers. So enters a chance for me to write a song about this beautiful place, filled with both new and historical richness.

With that, I'm trying to incorporate more classical nylon guitar into my songs. Cartagena was developed by "comping" (layering and promoting the best parts of the track). This encompassed about 70% of the main background guitar melody.

For those interested, the instruments used in this song are:
92' Yamaha Nylon APX-10N Classical Guitar
Martin HD28-V Acoustic Guitar
PRS II Standard (backing melody)
71' Gibson Les Paul Custom (Backing melody)
Native Instruments - Grandeur & Steinway (Pianos)
68' Fender Precision Bass Guitar, with Presonus' Presence XT - Fingered Bass
Native Instruments - Moog Taurus Bass Pedals
Dune 3 Synthesizer (Backing Soundscape)
Arturia - Synvlavier V & Prophet V
NI - FM8 (DX-7) Fender Rhodes Elec. Piano
