I had this idea to explore the theme of loneliness insides of one’s mind. Then, the lockdown occurred and I felt that this was the time to begin composing the music. This is the first time that I have recorded an entire album for solo Warr guitar and it features no overdubs.
“There are some tracks that really stand out, and nothing that falters.” - Music Steet Journal
“…he once again confirms why he is one of the most distinguished technicians on the Warr”- Betreutes Proggen
“Imaginary Cages is an excellent example of moody progressive music without boundaries. A highly enjoyable album to chill out to, and as such is highly recommended.” - Sea of Tranquility
“Blake’s guitar playing is melodic, intricate, and at times jaw dropping. His ability to unleash simultaneous lines, sometimes competing with different tempos, and do it in such a smooth flowing way is something to behold.” - Sea of Tranquility
