about

"Test of Time is a sonic marvel, from top to bottom" - Acoustic Guitar

"As original it is beautiful; with satisfying playing technique, compositions, and atmosphere. Fans of acoustic guitar can’t wish for a more all around pleasing gift." - Akustik Gitarre (Germany)

“Teja weaves a gorgeous tapestry” – Tim Sparks

Consisting of pieces that he has played on stage, but never committed to a recording, Test of Time is San Francisco Bay Area guitarist Teja Gerken’s third solo album. Featuring originals, tunes from the Celtic repertoire, a jazz standard, and a classical piece, Test of Time represents Teja’s fingerstyle guitar playing the way a typical performance does. Playing six-string, 12-string, and resonator guitars, Teja applies his keen melodic awareness, experimental spirit, and masterful technique to a set of road-tested solo guitar favorites.

The fabulous guitars used on these recordings are a 2004 Martin Custom Shop OM, a 1999 Lowden O10, a 2000 Taylor 355, and a 1997 National Reso-Phonic Style 1 Tricone.
