Steffen Basho-Junghans Whether working with the
paintbrush, the guitar or the pen, Steffen
manages to conjure up works of extreme intensity, focus and creativity.
On hearing Robbie Basho’s playing, one can indeed hear the influence/similarities, but don’t be fooled, SB-J is certainly his own man. |

“ I think one of my very favourites (players) is Steffen Basho-Junghans, I’ve done like 5 or 6 gigs with him at this point and I think Steffen at his best, no one can really touch him, he’s just got such a unique approach to playing music and when I heard him do his Avant-garde stuff… like his more experimental stuff i was thinking, I wonder how this translates live, but he’s… you’re on the edge of your seat " |
Listening
to a Steffen Basho-Junghans record takes is a unique listening style
to be fully appreciated… there are often strong hidden double
meanings and clues in the track titles. The music itself will evoke
subtle moods and emotions and just as the intention of composers
of Indian ragas that so strongly inspire SB-J, the listener needs
to be in a particular emotional state before it can flow through. ‘IS’ is Steffen’s first release in 3 years and his first ever UK release. It offers a world of micro trance subtleties as well as epic landscape raga journeys all brought to you on both 6 and 12 steel string guitars. With multiple releases all around the globe Steffen offers a very unique approach to the instrument. while taking clear influence from Robbie Basho, Steffen treads his own path from experimental simplistic minimal space to unexplainable complex finger picking (But never for the sake of it) as Robbie Basho said: “Soul
first – technique later“.
‘IS’
is the first full-length UK release by the long playing six and
twelve steel string master. In tune with the intensity of the record
we’ve gone for a 200gram super deluxe heavy weight Vinyl that
comes with a free digital download for those long walks with the
Ipod. http://www.harmonicrooms.co.uk/shop.html Painter,
