Musicellaneous‣Stephen Taranto

Friday, so it seems (I have to admit four weeks into self-isolation you tend to lose track of days).

This twentieth edition of Musicellaneous presents the Australian guitarist virtuoso Stephen Taranto skillfully playing djent on Abasi signature guitars.

Music

I already mentioned Stephen earlier as a member of The Helix Nebula, which impressed me both musically and technically back in the day.

In a sense, everything I said about The Helix Nebula also applies to Mr Taranto: the intricate rhythmical structure, the inherent melodicity with a pinch of ambient and the impressive guitar skills, it’s all here.

He also shares his only problem with that band: the lack of available material.

Up to now he has only released a single EP called Permanence (2019), which—by the way—received great critical acclaim.

On the other hand, he’s still quite young so I do hope more exciting music will follow.

I’d also like to recommend Stephen’s Facebook page where he publishes short guitar videos, pretty impressive.
