Right Brain Records is a nonprofit label that promotes exploration of uncharted musical territories.

The future isn’t what it used to be.
Not long ago, the future was considered an optimistic place where everyone gets along, technology solves all problems and stuff generally keeps improving. Music was one of those things. This album recaptures that spirit. We focus on the most familiar of instruments and ask, where will we go from here?
This compilation includes original instrumental tracks by guitarists from all over the Earth: Austria, Italy, Basque Country, England, Argentina, distant corners of North America as well as Tasmania. Some pieces are electric, some acoustic and others barely recognizable as guitar. A bunch of our contributors are well-established, several have toured internationally, while others are in early stages of their careers.
Two things unite these innovative musicians: they sound uniquely like themselves, and their musical visions help all of us, their listeners, imagine new realities.
Take a listen and ask yourself, is this a future worth waiting for? We think so.
