Krispen Hartung has played the Boise, Idaho music scene for nearly 18 years, and he has played guitar for 24 years. He has played in original and cover bands, ranging wildly in styles, which include jazz, hard rock, classic rock, country, improvisational rock, jazz-fusion, avant-garde jazz, big band jazz, and world-fusion. Recently, Hartung has drawn from this diverse background to launch a series of solo projects. His debut solo CD is titled Places and released in April, 2004.

Places is by far the most personal and sincere musical work Hartung has to offer in the 24 years he has been playing the guitar and writing music. This highly experimental and improvisational collection of soundscapes will take you on an eclectic journey through the heart and mind, though the abstract, bizarre, and beyond!View supplementary CD notes, song commentary, sample sound clips, and more at his new web site: http://krispenhartung.com
