Programme Notes
There’s a music store in Rochester, New York, called The House of Guitars. Growing up in Ottawa, I used to see their TV commercials all the time—they were quirky to the max! The ads featured characters in funny costumes doing bizarre things to “plug” the instruments. Within a single commercial, there could be multiple unrelated scenes strung together.
That’s the concept behind The Great House of Riffs. Just when you’re getting comfortable with a musical idea, it’s abruptly taken away, replaced by something completely different when you least expect it.
