I wrote Spanish Dirge many years ago. I usually play it as an introduction to a longer flamenco piece, but I also like it as a stand alone number. The music definitely expresses a contemplative dance with death.
For this recording, I used my Walden Natura Acoustic. The pickup inside the guitar is loose, and you can hear it bouncing around when I use vibrato. I tried playing it to a metronome, but I had a hard time getting the fermatas right, and I preferred the freer interpretation.
This is way cool, love flamenco.
