Telegraph Paths is a joint release between Spanish netlabel Bestiar and Australian label Ramble Records. This release is offered as pay as you feel - fark Spotify.
"This album is a meeting of stringing sounds of mine and Kawol Samarqandi's, in which we could develop an empathic telegraphic understanding.
Kawol lead the ways, I came in response. Other times, my guitar builds counterpuntal bass or harmonies to Kawol's flights. We are from different hemispheres, but not far from what we aim to achieve in sound paths and pathos.
Many times, I am empathic to how Kawol's chants come to my senses. And, I hope the listeners feel as much as I feel how this work speaks to the core of real emotions. This is music from our hearts."

Record Crates United, Nov, 2021 Roundup.
"George Christian and Kawol Samarqandi, two extremely forward-thinking guitarists, used their instruments to create a highly-textured and otherworldly two-part soundscape that is as alien as can be.
Armed with an acoustic-electric flat-top guitar, regular electric guitar and an electric oil can guitar, this neatly unorthodox duo bounce odd clanging notes around like a ping pong ball, often while they coax whimpers and gong-like tones from their axes with the use of a slide.
This is minimalist avant-garde jazz at its most abstract. If you could imagine the manic spider-hand fret action of Sonny Sharrock being deconstructed into its most skeletal form, then this might be what you would hear."
