Raphael Vanoli is an Amsterdam-based artist, composer and improviser who conjures distant sonic worlds with little more than a guitar, effects and his own breath. With his unique blowing techniques on electric guitar, he transcends the aesthetics of conventional guitar music, instead crafting minimalistic, cinematic compositions characterised by densely-layered emotions. In a solo live setting, the resulting sounds range from tropical rainforest floor soundscapes and lush, choir-like textures to apocalyptic earthquake rumbles.
