Thomas Soler: new 2025 album.
“
Recording experience with Thomas is always rewarding. As the producer of this new album, Thomas has allowed me to push beyond limits and achieve a sound production never before heard on an album made with the Chapman Stick. With a boldly mono sound and almost no effects, capturing real-time performances—including the sounds produced by fingers against the strings—the result is a very direct album with a crystal-clear, visceral sound that captures the emotion of the musician performing his own excellent compositions. Once again, we have contributed to the history of the Stick with a work of high artistic caliber, honest, and with original compositions.Enjoy it.

This is a great solo album with excellent compositions and a unique sound. It has been an honor to produce Thomas' work. This album is further proof that the inventor of the Stick, Emmett Chapman, actually created a language of expression that allows the most beautiful compositions to be composed in the best piano, guitar, and melodic styles. My aim in accepting this production was to demonstrate that every person who understands that language is able to compose and communicate through music. From this perspective, there is no such thing as 'Stick Master', 'Stick Man', or 'Stick Hero' but a new generation of musicians who truly understand what the Stick offers and the complete knowledge of its possibilities as a soloist instrument. We are now just showing the world the true language of Stick. I hope you enjoy it.Guillermo Cides

Regarding Thomas Soler's recordings.
Thomas Soler plays a 1 0 Grand Chapman Stick. The inventor of this instrument was luthier Emmett Chapman in 1969. It combines four instruments in one: the bass, guitar, piano logic, and tactile percussion, which is played by percussing with the fingers of both hands. +info at stick.com
Soler started playing the Stick in 2015 with Guillermo Cides as his instructor. He gradually developed his own musical personality, which enabled him to compose his own works. For this album, Soler selected his most representative pieces to record with Cides, who produced the sound and collaborated with Soler to arrange the songs at his studio in Spain. The albums are both eclectic and special, but also intimate, with excellent sound quality and genuine sensitivity in their compositions.

With this work, I hope to share the passion that music inspired me through many hours of searching and discovering. I am grateful to all the musicians who lived before us and made this world of music infinite as it is the pleasure that it gives us when it accompanies us in our lives. I would like to appreciate Mr. Emmett Chapman for building the bond between us and the Chapman Stick. This enables me to hear my inner voice. I dedicate this album to my daughter Mathilde, my father, and all the people I love, especially to my good friend Guillermo Cides, I appreciate him for having so much faith in me.Thomas Soler
