Imaginations, the latest album by Matt Withers and the Acacia String Quartet, is many things, not least of which is a cohesive double-disc album of attractive, accessible new music for guitar and/or string quartet. It contains work commissioned by or for both the quartet and the tireless Australian guitarist and new music entrepreneur. It also captures on record some of the first fruits from the innovative Matt Withers Australian Music Composition Competition (MWAMCC), a project launched by the guitarist to enhance the repertoire with a series of new Australian works. Finally, several works here take their inspiration from the paintings of Queensland-based Sue Needham, a visual artist inspired by Australia and the seas surrounding it, and herself a keen supporter from the outset of Withers’ Competition.
