Description
Born in 1957, Gulezian was only six when he started playing the acoustic guitar. One of the people who did a lot to encourage Gulezian's interest in many different types of music was his father, an oud player who was well-versed in Armenian and Middle Eastern styles. (The oud is a traditional Arabic lute that has been used all over the Middle East and North Africa for centuries).
Growing up in Colorado, Gulezian was exposed to a wide variety of music. He learned a lot about Middle Eastern forms from his father, and he also got into everything from rock, folk, soul, and the blues to traditional Indian artists like sitar legend Ravi Shankar (another influence).
One can hear the influence of ragas and Indian classical music in Gulezian's playing, and one also hears a strong appreciation of acoustic Mississippi country\blues legends like Robert Johnson, Son House, and the Rev. Gary Davis.
Gulezian was still a pre-adolescent when he discovered Fahey's music; he soon became equally knowledgeable of Kottke and Basho. And when Gulezian was a high school senior, he met Basho at a concert in Pueblo, CO. Gulezian played one of his compositions for Basho, who was impressed with both his playing and his writing, and encouraged him to send a demo to Fahey's Takoma Records.
In 1979, Gulezian recorded Snow, his first LP, and released it on his own label, Aardvark Records.
After hearing Gulezian's work, Fahey shared Basho's high opinion of him and decided that he wanted to re-release the record on Takoma, but with a few changes. Three of the Snow tracks were dropped, and the LP reissued by Takoma as Unspoken Intentions in 1979.
The original pressing was very limited and contains alll the original tracks which equal the unadulterated vision of the artist.
RECORD IS STILL SEALED NEW CONDITION, RARELY FOUND LIKE THIS!
