Behind the recording

The story of the album.

Aire de Mar is an intimate study in texture, space, and melodic instinct. Ricky began with spontaneous performances on acoustic and electric guitar, then shaped those ideas into nine complete pieces.

Every sound heard on the album comes from the guitar rather than external synthesized sources. Resonance, silence, and gesture become part of the music’s unfolding landscape.
