In recent years, Belgian guitarist Julien Tassin has released numerous albums marked by his own unique and original language. With a deep devotion to crafting strong, lyrical melodies and cinematic themes, he has forged a distinctive musical landscape steeped in blues, free improvisation, rock, folk and jazz. His exploration of the instrument is equally unique: he uses unusual tunings to create a musical language that defies convention. He also expands the instrument’s expressive range by preparing it with objects such as pencils and strings. His compositions and improvisations are driven by a quest for essence and an inexhaustible desire to push the limits of his instrument.
