Dusan Bogdanovic - Unconscious in Brazil


Unfortunately, the guitarist isn't listed so I don't know who they are.

This reminds me a lot of Conlon Nancarrow's player piano studies, especially some of the early ones. Reading the score while listening, it's even clearer how innovative Bogdanovic's music is for the instrument.   Looking at a video of someone playing an excerpt can be a little disorienting as it sounds like more than one person should be playing the music, the two lines, the ostinato and the melody above it, are so independent, and that's just a simple description, there are implications of two upper voices at times.
