Pontus Gunve to Release “Cavalry of Camels” Video

NEW YORK - March 25, 2013 - PRLog -- On March 29th, Pontus Gunve will debut the music video for the song “Cavalry of Camels.” The video will be viewable online with links posted at the facebook.com/PHWGmusic. It  is a behind the scenes concept, showing a lot of the making of the upcoming album The Observer, which will be released on May 7th. Gunve’s third disc, it will be released under the project name of “PHWG.”

NYC-based guitarist, composer and technologist Pontus Gunve’s music embraces the theory that music is a multi-dimensional experience and an adventure in wordless storytelling that fully absorbs the audience’s mind, body and spirit. Flowing through time and space, the lush sonic textures he creates evoke the ethereal landscapes of other-worldly multi-media artists such as Jean Michel Jarre and Boards of Canada while still clearly inspired by the thick, dark compositional textures of legendary heavy metal bands like Megadeth. And his energy as a guitarist celebrates numerous influences, from the technical proficiency of Steve Vai and the raw, exotic approach of Marty Friedman, to the minimalistic moments created by legendary blues performers. Gunve’s finely-tuned skills in the studio (producer and engineer) allow him to seamlessly unify many different musical styles and a wide range of instruments into intricately-crafted recordings.

Gunve was first fully gripped by his passion for music when he saw Jean Michel Jarre’s Rendezvous Houston: A City in Concert on television as a child growing up in Sweden. Blown away by Jarre’s all-encompassing high-tech stage show and the endless layers of his album Oxygene, Gunve began to explore the capabilities of computers to create different sounds and textures. His fascination with rock music led him to electric guitar, which he began to study voraciously, simultaneously imagining ways to expand its boundaries. At the same time, he experimented with sequencing and learned how to build computer and synthesizer modules that could be used practically during performances and on recordings.

Scott Kahn had this to say of “Cavalry of Camels” at MusicPlayers.com: "World Music meets Prog Metal in the latest single from Pontus Gunve. This is big orchestral stuff that rocks thanks to the solid guitar and drums anchoring the complex rhythms. The percussion and string section really give the music its international, ethnic vibe, and the video itself provides a visually captivating record of the act of recording and performing the instrumental piece. Melodic, rocking, beautifully produced... I'm not fully sure how we'd categorize it, but we definitely enjoy listening to it."
