Eric Carbonara is a Philadelphia based guitarist, whose search
for raw aural expression has led him far and wide û from noise
& electro-acoustic music to taking deep root in the bounty of
the wooden guitar.
Carbonara's playing draws on the rich musical styles from
Andalusian Roma-Flamenco to Hindustani & North African folk to
form a kind of exalted pidgin style of playing that covers a
wide emotional terrain from meditative calm to restless
unease. He has developed a unique idiom of gypsy music for
non-existent cultures by combining rogue self-taught,
free-form classical and flamenco techniques with those learned
from formal studies in India.
His live solo performances range from contemplative acoustic
meditations to aggressively loud electric sets; both
encompassing Carbonara's ability to draw the listener in to
his world, where his lyrical playing doesn't just entertain
but triggers a myriad of emotional responses.
Carbonara has toured extensively throughout the United States
and Europe promoting his releases on Locust Music, Majumua
Music and New American Folk Hero as well as various
self-releases for solo guitar and solo upright chaturangui
music.
On Towards a Center of Infinite Flux, Carbonara brings the
many facets of his playing together and makes these seemingly
disparate elements work together as a focused whole.
Meditative workouts flow into electronic excursions and back
again, reminding the listener that dichotomies in the world of
sound only exist when we create them, and those that are
receptive are richly rewarded.
