Info for Open Me
Guillaume Perret & Electric Epic is a thrilling new band from Paris led by the fabulous composer/performer Guillaume Perret who steps out on his own with a new electric quartet. The result of two years of intense work, the music is a powerful fusion of jazz, rock and metal, with a huge sound, virtuosic solos, brilliant compositions and creative arrangements. A hybrid sort of music, troubling, bewitching, that evokes sensations and imagery. His music doesn’t belong to a specific genre, rather it calls upon our senses. Possessing a huge dynamic range and creating a sound way beyond your expectations, Guillaume Perret is a sound explorer. This is a very special debut recording by this musical pioneer who is breaking new ground in electric music with this cutting edge quartet. An emotional powerhouse. He plays saxophone but also the wa-wa pedals and electric effects to elevate his notes to a new and surprising universe, one that makes you dream, and distorting sounds to make them strangely more musical.
