About Me |
|
Hi, my name is Alex Ehrsam & I’m a guitar player from France. My debut album "djaz_dtox" blends instrumental fusion ideas, jazz chordal structures & funky grooves. I’ve been playing guitar for the last thirteen years. I grew up in a musical environment listening to a lot of jazz & rag-time, discovering Miles & Coltrane, their universe & their vision of music. For the last 4 years, I’ve been trying to cut into basic guitar chops to create arpegiated approaches, developing a jazz feel through a specific choice of notes & yet sticking to a “rock guitar” sound. I’m mostly using mixolydian, dorian, altered, blues modes & a lot of chromatic tricks, through hybrid techniques combining legato, sweep & finger picking… I also worked on building a smooth nu-jazz ambience in my music. “Elevator Shaft” is one of the tracks dedicated to this amazing musical movement. A few friends of mine have joined the party to jam along. Guests : bass - Patrick Chapus (solo on Out U Go), alto/tenor sax - Christophe Rieger (Elevator Shaft & Malpractice), guitar - Nicolas Muller (also on Elevator Shaft & Malpractice). Thank you guys. Dig it. My album is available at this site : www.guitar9.com (USA & South America) Also available here (now with MP3s download !) : www.guitareuroshop.com (Europe) Check my official site for more music extracts, photos & complete album graphics : www.alexehrsam.fr People, keep the Vibe alive. My music can also be heard on Fret Net, Australia's only guitar music radio show !

Disappearance of Esbjrn Svensson |

| I just learned about the tragic death of Esbjrn Svensson, leader of E.S.T. I'm so under shock, he was one of the musical lights in my life. One of the best. Posted by Alex Ehrsam on Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:19:00 PST |
