Before the World Was Made is a contemplative solo album by American composer, guitarist, and multi-instrumentalist Wall Matthews, known for his solo work, collaborations with dance companies, and members of the legendary band The Entreguerres.
The album's title draws on poetic and philosophical traditions (particularly echoing the poetry of William Butler Yeats), underscoring its deeply meditative and timeless character.
The sound is based on acoustic guitars (6- and 12-string), piano, and subtle, resonant percussion accents.
Matthews's performance technique draws on the traditions of fingerstyle (John Fahey, Leo Kottke), where the guitar is used as a holistic polyphonic instrument, combining lead melody, bass, and rhythm.
The music is characterized by a spatial, "spacious" sound, actively exploiting acoustic pauses and the natural resonance of the room. These are deeply atmospheric, picturesque pieces that create a sense of silence and archaic tranquility.
