"Guitars for Theater" - Pink Floyd "Mother" for guitar solo - Ruggero Catania

I arranged this precious song by Pink Floyd for the theater play "Do You Wanna Play With Me" by Sylvie Landuyt.
It is the first song of my "Guitars for Theater" series, which will include guitar arrangements taken from 3 different plays I was involved in the last 4 or 5 years in Belgium.

Music for theater: Elle(s) - the end of the tour

2 days ago we played "Elles(s)". We have been on the road with that show for 3 years or what, now it's time to stop. I'd like yo thanks Sylvie and Jessica for the journey together, and all the other boys and girls somehow involved. We had good times and bad times, nice venues and horrible venues, but for a rocker like me it has been such an incredible experience to compose and play in front of that kind of audience instead of in front of drunk rastapunk. I really know what focus on my #guitar means now, and how enormous could be the smaller mistake in a context like that. #theater #stage #musician #musicismylife #composer #guitarist #guitarplayer #comedy #belgium #france #soundscape #telecaster #valvetronix #electricguitar

Elle(s): le théâtre de Sylvie Landuyt en France cette semaine

J'ai composé les musiques de cette pièce avec grand plaisir.
Je joue de la guitare électrique sur scène avec les 2 comediennes Sylvie Landuyt et Jessica Fanhan.
Cette semaine on est en France pour 2 spectacles:

4 Novembre - Le Polaris, Corbas
5 Novembre - La Soyerie, Faverges


Voilà les 3 reprises qu'il y a dans la pièce, et le morceau à moi qui termine le spectacle:

New rehearsal session with Aluminiumfolie - Belgian Post Blues

I've met Eric on stage in Avignon during the OFF Festival one year ago.
I was playing the piece "Elle(s)" with Sylvie Landuyt and Jessica Fanhan, and he was the sound engineer.
I asked this guy to publish his album with my record label Lady Lovely.
Finally he was not interested, but I'm playing the guitar in his band, instead.
It's something like a francophone Giant Sand with a lil bit of electro generated by Ableton Live.
Does it make sense?
Yep!

Nuno Bettencourt Washburn N2 - this little monster blows me away

Last summer I was playing in a piece called "Elle(s)" at the Avignon OFF Festival.
I saw that 2nd hand Washburn N2 (made in Indonesia) in a guitar shop, I've tried it once.
I've tried it again 2 days later.
Then I've tried it a 3rd time.
I came back home with that guitar, end of the story.
I had an original N4 model at that time, I think it was in 1991, I've sold it straightway due to an issue to the bridge.
So I can say I know how a real N4 sounds, and that little monster N2 has nothing to be afraid of.
IMO, the only real difference is the lack of the Extended Cutaway.
Pick-ups are the same, the neck is comfortable, the sound is as it should be, and the sustain it is just incredible.
Nuno Bettencourt influenced my playing for so many years, and even if I don't think I could play that kind of stuff on stage anymore, I'm just having great time remembering that kind of sound.
And thank you Nuno for the eternal inspiration.

I think this guitar is just here to remember me one simple thing.
I'm not talking about bands, fashion, managements, courses, money, shredding, ostentation.
I really don't care about.
This guitar is just here to remember me one simple thing.
I love playing the guitar.

So, I'm talking to you.
Play. Play your guitar. Play as much as you can. It is just amazing.
