Christian Vasseur

Christian Vasseur is a French guitarist, composer and improviser whose work follows extensive studies in classical guitar and Renaissance lute. He develops an individual musical language with acoustic instruments, prepared strings, alternative tunings and microtonal pitch relationships.

His practice also involves performance with visual art, dance, photography, theatre and literature. Over time he has expanded the guitar with objects and electronics, using instruments such as the eleven-string alto guitar, Ukrainian bandura and other multi-string instruments. His collaborations with Dirk Serries explore the differences between archtop resonance and guitar tuned in quarter tones.
