Sharif Sehnaoui electric guitar
Improvisation 40’
Sharif Sehnaoui is a free improvising guitarist who performs solo and as part of groups including the “A” Trio, Karkhana, Wormholes and Calamita. He plays both electric and acoustic guitars, with (or without) the use of extended and prepared techniques, focusing on expanding the intrinsic possibilities of these instruments.
Based in his hometown of Beirut, he has actively contributed to the emergence of an unprecedented experimental music scene there. Together with Mazen Kerbaj, in 2001 he created Irtijal – an annual international festival, the region’s oldest festival of new music.
In his solo electric guitar sets, Sharif Sehnaoui tries to re-enact the various stages of development and mutations he has gone through throughout his career. From his first solo concert in August 2000 to his “Unprepared” series during the lockdown in 2020, how much has changed? And what remains the same throughout these years, if anything?
