Gerard Cousins – Simple Truths
Simple Truths is a deeply personal and reflective solo guitar album that celebrates sincerity, beauty, and emotional clarity. Each piece, whether a new commission, arrangement, or rediscovered sketch, is chosen for its honest and unpretentious voice.
Featuring music by a diverse range of composers — from Poulenc and Brouwer to rising Welsh talents and personal collaborators — the album blends lyrical expression with bold experimentation, alternate tunings, and rich textures. At its heart is a search for resonance: in sound, in memory, and in feeling.
From meditative miniatures to technically intricate solos, Simple Truths offers a journey through sound that feels both intimate and expansive — a celebration of the guitar’s quiet power to speak directly to the soul.
