These publications will be the realization of plans made originally with Michael Hedges. The implementation of these plans now has the benefit of developments in the notation of guitar music, more resources with which to work, and new potentials of the digital age. Just as the book Michael Hedges Rhythm, Sonority Silence in 1996 set a new standard for music publishing in graphic design, accuracy of the transcriptions, and the breadth of contextual information, these new materials will continue with an innovative approach to design and quality and take advantage of new delivery systems and platforms for in-depth pedagogical and contextual information. The next phase of this publishing adventure will include two new books and several individual transcriptions.
