Robert Jurjendal Water Finds A Way CD Miguel Noya
Water Finds A Way continues the colourful guitar/effects-based work that innovative Estonian guitarist Robert Jürjendal has become recognised for.
 
Robert plays a custom-built electric guitar - a fully equipped system containing a Sustainer pickup which gives a life for the long-sustained notes, and also utilises a guitar synth mixed with natural guitar sounds in order to create a unique hybrid sound.

Robert's previous release, Simple Past (Strangiato Records, 2016) was more rock-oriented, featuring with one of the best Estonian drummers, Andrus Lillepea. On Water Finds A Way Robert doesn't use drums, except some percussion played /programmed by himself. WFAW is also a “family-affair,” as Robert’s wife, Signe, joins him for background vocals and there are beautiful themes and improvisations played on cello by Robert's son Anti Jürjendal. 
 
For the first time on one of his solo albums, Jürjendal requested a track from an outside composer, Venezuelan synthesist Miguel Noya. Noya contributes Grey and Blue. The two had previously collaborated on the 2019 NEWdOG album, The Power of Distance, as well as (with Paul Godwin) Samliku (NEWdOG 2018).  They are also members of the new international ensemble project from Eternal Return Once Only.
