Métier signs guitarist Sam Cave

The British guitarist Sam Cave will release his debut album of contemporary works for guitar with Métier Records early next year. The young musician graduated from the Royal College of Music and is currently a visiting tutor at Brunel University in London. Sam has a busy solo and chamber concert schedule in Europe and further afield, having given over 30 world, European, and UK premiere performances of music by George Holloway, Darren Bloom, Gabriel Prokofiev, Lisa Illean and others. He is also an active composer, with performances of his works scheduled for 2018-2019 in Poland, Sweden and the UK – his music is published by Babelscores.

The new album, to be titled ‘Refracted Resonance’, will be released in March 2019 (Métier MSV 28586) and will feature a range of contemporary works by several composers, including Christopher Fox, Tristan Murail, George Holloway and Horatiu Radulescu – some of whom are better known for their work in other genres but are contributing major works to the modern guitar repertoire. Sam also contributes one of his own compositions. All but one are world premiere recordings.

Most of the works have been recorded, with two final tracks to be recorded in November.
