When you choose to play electric guitar, it's not necessarily to play Mozart or Vivaldi. But when you choose to play electric guitar, you don't have to deprive yourself of playing music from before electricity. In fact, when you play electric guitar, you shouldn't feel obliged to shake your head and rock out. In this issue of Metaclassique, you'll hear four electric guitarists in succession: Noël Akchoté, Christelle Séry, bassist Kasper T. Toeplitz and Julien Desprez. While their musical universes are very distinctive and therefore very different from one another, what they have in common is a disobedience to the rock heritage of the electric guitar, and a reflection on their instrument as they shape their musical evolution.
A Métaclassique program produced and directed by David Christoffel, in partnership with Hémisphère son.
