Sebastien Llinares aka Won is a guitarist, composer and sound
artist born in 1978 and living in Paris.
He studied musicology and art history at the University of
Toulouse, as well as composition, classical music and guitar
at the academy of music. Then, he specialised in XX, and XXI's
century music. At the moment, he is improving his guitar
recital at the academy of Paris. He is currently involved in
numerous bands and projects aiming at promoting contemporary
and alternative culture.
Won is his solo project, in which he mixes guitar and
electronics. Sebastien is also at the head of the label
NOWAKI, focusing on contemporary composition, sound art and
sound design. "Out in the World" is Won's first release for
Eglantine, after his collaboration with Christophe Bailleau on
"Free Bees Full of Light". On this solo-guitar record, he
mixes jazz with ambient and post-rock influences to create
absurd or sad pieces. These 9 tracks were composed at home:
Sebastien would leave his guitar in the room, and would pick
it up to record music every time an idea sprang. In that sense
one could say they form a series of "sound polaroids" from his
life.

Out in the World by Won arrives next. Another mean & tasty
package, with a designer badge holding together an elaborate
piece of minging green material which makes me think of a
cheap 70's tablecloth or god forbid, CURTAINS! This is a
collection of sweet, noodling (sometimes ambient) jazzy stuff.
A little Django Reinhardt in parts, a bit hazy & psychedelic
in others, you feel like you're on your holidays with this
one. Makes me dream of drinking daiquir & lemon in a brothel.
Or something. Anyway, this is largely refreshing, strangely
familiar music borne from the twiddly fingers of one Sebastien
Llinares and there's a mere 100 copies of it in the whole wide
world so get with it! (must've run out of sodding curtains,
aye!)
