Just a few months since the successful release of his instrumental solo album, “Quantum Leap”, through AFM Records, GUS G. has shared a brand new music video for the song “Night Driver”. He comments: “ ‘Night Driver’ is probably the most stylistically diverse song of ‘Quantum Leap’. I gave it a synth wave twist and it now has that 80s vhs movie vibe.”
“Quantum Leap” came together over the course of the worldwide pandemic. Immobilized by the quarantine measures that kept him at home, Gus began compiling musical ideas to keep himself occupied, which led to the full-on effort to write and record an album during the summer of 2021.
Unlike many instrumental albums, “Quantum Leap” doesn’t feel like a musical root canal or long and drawn- out brain surgery. Each of the 10 tracks are solid and compact musical ideas, with GUS’ guitar acting as the voice. “I really needed to have the guitar taking a vocal approach. I knew that if I just kept the playing technical it wasn’t going to be enjoyable. So the playing isn’t always about technique, and once I found the formula it was easier to create melodies for the record,“ he reveals.
