Simon Farintosh Classical Guitar, Solo Guitar Sheet Music
Canadian guitarist and composer Simon Farintosh is based in Toronto, Ontario. He specializes in arranging popular and contemporary music for six and eight-string guitar. One of his favored sources is far afield from what one might expect, however: He’s well-known for his treatment of songs by electronic musician and DJ Richard D. James, better known as Aphex Twin.Amassing over 2 million streams on Spotify, his debut EP, Aphex Twin for Guitar, is comprised of his own transcriptions of pieces by James/Aphex Twin. His second EP, Seascapes, consists of original compositions inspired by the landscape of the Pacific Northwest, and combines solo guitar with atmospheric synthesizer textures.
So it’s no surprise that Farintosh is known for his unconventional programming choices, connecting with audiences by integrating the classical guitar with more contemporary musical forms such as electronica and jazz. He holds a Master's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and as of early 2024 was completing a Doctorate of Musical Arts at the University of Toronto. No doubt finding new ways to bridge the gaps between seemingly disparate forms of music.
