Acclaimed six and twelvestring guitarist of longstanding and international reputation in both folk and experimental realms STEFFEN BASHOJUNGHANS has previously recorded for fine labels LOCUST and STRANGE ATTRACTORS AUDIO HOUSE.
Here the PRESERVATION label presents Unknown Music II Transwarp Meditation.
Based in Berlin, Steffen has been one of the most searching artists in the everincreasingly loose folk idiom for over two decades. His work on the six and twelvestring guitar makes him a modernday counterpart to great trailblazers JOHN FAHEY and ROBBIE BASHO, from who he takes his name as a creative talisman.
While experimentation is a feature of Steffens playing, the soul of acoustic guitar tradition is there in equal measure. With boundless imagination, his technique takes in American folk, Eastern raga and Western classical harmonics but also resonates with the inspiring power of free jazz. His Unknown Music series feature what he describes as his most personal excursions yet, containing some of his most stirring and unique compositions.
Unknown Music II\' is much more than just a set of psychedelic overtures. Its a work of deep spiritual vision that comes from having travelled far down an exceptionally individual path.
