About this edition

Kostas Parisiadis’s Five Steps to Nowhere is a collection of five miniatures for two electric guitars, with an approximate duration of eight minutes. The sequence comprises Daydream, Rush, Breakdown, Rebirth and Nowhere.

In his introductory note, the composer describes a journey through contrasting states of mind, combining elements of classical and rock music. The score includes a suggested guitar-effects chain and allows performers freedom in their approach to articulation, dynamics and tempo.

The publisher’s note states that complimentary digital copies of the separate parts may be requested from info@davinci-edition.com if they are not included with the printed volume.
