A rhythmic and emotional journey through the guitar
Swedish guitarist and composer Mats Hedberg presents PULS, his latest solo guitar album. Released on 26 March 2025 by ELMA Music, this album is an artistic statement about rhythm as a vital and emotional driving force. Each piece is built on odd rhythmic cells—time signatures such as 5/4, 7/4, or complex combinations—that evolve into a sense of naturalness, as if the heart itself were setting the beat.
In this context, the Ramírez Tiempo guitar becomes the perfect vehicle for such an ambitious and introspective project. Hedberg chose it for its rich tone, its ability to clearly project the most subtle rhythmic nuances, and its aesthetic beauty, which is even reflected on the album cover.
The Ramírez Tiempo: a contemporary expression
Designed for guitarists with their own voice, the Ramírez Tiempo guitar is part of our most innovative line. It combines traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design, offering a high-end instrument that responds precisely to the demands of the modern musician. Its choice by Mats Hedberg reinforces its international vocation and its presence on avant-garde music stages.
The album PULS is not only a technical feat, but also an emotional manifesto. The melodic repetition creates an atmosphere of serene hypnosis, while the rhythmic variations invite active, almost meditative listening. The guitar guides the listener through soundscapes where time seems to stand still, and each note reveals a new nuance.
Mats Hedberg: a career of exploration and excellence
A native of Stockholm, Mats Hedberg is recognised worldwide for his versatility. He has participated in international tours, classical and contemporary music festivals, and projects that cross genres as diverse as progressive rock, flamenco, jazz and electronic music. He is also a leading figure in the use of the EBow, a technique that allows him to extend the sound of the guitar as if it were a string bow.
His discography includes more than eleven solo albums, as well as film soundtracks and teaching methods. His music can be found on streaming platforms and on labels such as Universal Publishing, Addictive Tracks and Aulicus Classics
