OBSCURA | “Convergence” Guitar Playthrough
Here comes another guitar playthrough by Steffen Kummerer! Watch “CONVERGENCE” from our latest album Diluvium.
“Convergence heavily showcases the rather melodic side of OBSCURA. Based on a theme the listener gets introduced to during an acoustic interlude at the beginning, the orchestration of the entire composition was adapted on this central arrangement from beginning to end.” – Steffen Kummerer
