Guillaume Perret and the Electric Epic
Nominated for the French-equivalent of the Grammy's in 2012, Guillaume Perret &The Electric Epic is a French jazz fusion band, founded in 2008 by composer and sax player Guillaume Perret. A saxophone, the desire to unravel a new kind of sound. Guillaume Perret is a sound explorer. He plays the wa-wa pedals and with electric effects to elevate his notes to a new and surprising universe, one that makes you dream, distorting sounds to make them strangely more musical. His music doesn't belong to a specific genre, rather it calls upon our senses. It is an innovative mixture of contemporary jazz, funky grooves, screaming metal...a hybrid sort of music, troubling,bewitching, that evokes sensations and imagery.
