Eric Roche |
 |
It's hard to place Eric Roche's music. As a whole it's
not folk, it's not country & it's not rock or pop.
But each track makes room for all of the above, at the
same time hinting at classical influences. Full of details
and finesse, every single song is an impressive mix.
Eric is arguably the leading light of the new generation
of fingerstyle guitarists. Lead, rhythm, bass and percussion
flow relentlessly from Eric's guitar, making it resonate
generously to the merest touch. Underlying this is a profound
musical mind, consummate technique & a depth of musical
talent. His material is presented in an open, honest, personable
way, the music tugging at the emotions. His songs work
on many levels.
His second release on Inner Ear Music, 'Spin', is a new
studio album that maintains and improves on the standards
set by his previous release, The Perc-U-Lator. Spin contains
much improvisation and high creativity. It's an intense
and exhilarating piece of work.
Eric writes a regular fingerstyle column in the international
magazine "Guitar Techniques" and "Guitarist".
He is head of guitar at The Academy of Contemporary Music
(ACM) in Guildford. He is also author of numerous books
and has given workshops and master-classes all over the
world.
