"The recording also serves to remind us
that Kastning's a true original, someone
who's carved out his own path and
followed it resolutely over the span of
many years and recordings. Neither
classical, jazz, folk, or country, his
music inhabits its own special,
distinctive space, much like its
creator."

"A stunning solo excursion into a
guitar world you didn't know
existed. 17/66 takes it to the next
level."
- Midwest Record Magazine (US)
"His music is completely outside of
all genre classifications, perhaps a
bit of classical, jazz, avant,
Americana and ambient figure into
Kastning's stylistic palette, but
the results are truly his own."
- Exposé Magazine (US)

"Considered as a leader in his field,
Kastning's is a style that is unique
unto the moment of conception."

experience, Kismaros is
