Aerial Boundaries - Performed by Henry Bateman
My guitar teacher handed me the album from which this track is taken and it truly changed my life. I then studied Michael and his music for a year, and still continue to do so. Michael Hedges's music answered a lot of questions for me, opened a lot of doors, totally threw open my own compositional toolkit, and makes me very happy. This piece of music is one of my favourite compositions of all time. Through covering it, I'm trying to share with you a piece of music that has been incredibly significant in my life, and continues to inspire me. I hope you you enjoy it. If you do, and you don't know who Michael is, please visit: www.nomadland.com. Michael was taken way too young, so it's up to those of us who love his music to try and share it about a bit.
Thank You. :-)

Massive thank you to the wonderful Katie Griffin for engineering this and putting the video together, and for the use of her studio.
Performed, produced, mixed and mastered by Henry Bateman
Thanks to John Stropes who, with Michael, transcribed this piece. I wouldn't have had a hope in hell otherwise!
My guitar is a Larrivee L-01 with D'addario .56-.13 phosphor bronze strings.
Pickups: LR Baggs Dual Source (microphone and under saddle), LR Baggs M1 (magnetic). We also used two microphones - the Shure PG27 that you can see in the video, and a handheld Zoom recorder.
Featuring the wonders that are the Boss OC-3 Superoctave, and the Strymon Big Sky.
Love :-) X
