About the Artist
Jaime Rudoff lives in Colorado and gains a unique perspective on life as a stay-at-home-dad (or Mr.Mom), and also as a homeschooling father. When he's not composing, he cleans house and cooks, but is not allowed to do the laundry. Hundreds of hours over three years has produced this debut album. But as it is a labor of love, more are sure to follow!

Product Description
Where words cannot communicate the passion and meaning of a lifetime, "Forms Of Life" takes over. Listen as 13 original instrumental pieces by Jaime Rudoff move you through a landscape that is sometimes gentle, powerful, harmonious, bittersweet, playful, spiritual...That is life. These colors are part of all our lives. They are "Forms Of Life." Visit your past, reflect on the present, and ponder your destiny in "Forms Of Life".

Forms Of Life,Jaime Rudoff

5 out of 5 stars Melodious and hilarious.......2007-07-03

Country? Listen to Last Words. Cowboy, Listen to Billy Gray. Killed his paw and married his maw? They only do that in Arkansas. Oedipus Rex. Biblical? Try Number 667, The Neighbor of the Beast. Science-fiction? Go Tap Dancing on the Moon. What happened to dinosaurs? Their brains were small and they died. This is one of my favorite CD's. I have listened to it a hundred times since I got it as a gift a couple of years ago. For variety and hummable tunes, try it, you'll like it.

          Album Description

          Teja Gerken's "On My Way" is a collection of pieces for solo acoustic fingerstyle guitar. Primarily played on steel-string guitar using a number of alternate tunings, two-handed tapping, and percussive techniques, the album is sure to please fans of "new acoustic" guitar music.

          Customer Reviews:

          4 out of 5 stars Inventive writing for fingerstyle guitar.......2000-10-24

          Highly recommended! Its all fingerstyle instrumental and I believe all but one are originals. Very creative and listenable compositions, imho some of the best I've heard, in a smorgasbord of tunings. Some of the tunes are not as strong as others, but there's enough really great stuff here to make it definitely worth owning. My favorites are "Her Red Hair", "The Westside" and "Darjeeling."

          5 out of 5 stars Interesting acoustic guitar music.......2000-07-10

          I bought Teja Gerken's CD after hearing him at a concert. Sometimes when you listen to a CD after a live performance you can be disappointed - however, that is not the case with this CD. This is great acoustic guitar music, but unlike a lot of acoustic guitar CDs that have almost the same rhythm in every song, the tempos are mixed in these songs. Teja plays styles from Celtic to African. I think Nairobi is the most interesting song on the CD. Whenever this CD is playing, people always ask who is the artist. I plan to buy more as gifts.
