"Watch this video and you'll get a big picture of my songwriting and playing style. Even though I used to play a lot of shred stuff on the guitar, I don't like to overplay now. That's all about evolution as a musician. Ok, I admit there are some shred licks such as sweeping and tapping. I tried to use these techniques to play the right note at the right time instead of showing off shred guitar technique. Music first. (that's the hardest part of the job) For example, there is somewhere @ 02:20 a super fast lick, which is a sequence of 32th note quintuplets that I can play using strict alternate picking or sweep picking techniques depending on my mood. This is where music comes: I'd rather use legato technique to play this lick as the guitar tone is smoother and has more musicality.

I don't think this song can be labeled as a "right-in-your-face" tune with lot of screaming guitars and hi-speed drumming. That's the reverse. Calm, cool and relax. The song goes through ups-and-downs, changing music styles. Going from jazz-like melody to slight symphonic instrumentation, morphing from elaborate rhythm patterns to very basic riffing. Yes! This song is like a journey through various sonic landscapes!

You will probably notice that I don't use bends a lot while soloing, I'd rather play grace notes instead. I'm a kind of jazz guitarist with shred, metal and progressive influences."


-----
Ovation song

"I wrote this song to be played on an ovation guitar (hence the song title) using fingerpicking technique only. I'm not big fan of hybrid picking on acoustic guitar as I need to feel the strings on my fingertips. Something carnal...You'll notice this song has nothing to do with the guitar playing and songwriting in my "Lethal Alchemy" album. That's something VERY different. I just wanted to show my ability to write and play different style of music.

I tried to record this song using a Takamine guitar and I ended up playing using my Ovation 2078 TX-5 guitar. I feel this guitar with a rounded-bowl back is more appropriate to perform this song. More low-mids and percussive tone."

"Lethal Alchemy": Julien Carayon's debut album is out!

1.Welcome to my nightmare (9:35) - 2.Parallel dimension (8:27) 3.The good and evil sides of men (10:11) - 4.Azur (7:37) - 5.Angry god (7:57) - 6.Heat (6:55) - 7.Dark jazz song (8:36)
Total running time 59:18 - All music by Julien Carayon


"I'm really proud to announce to all Myspace members that my debut album is out ! The album title is “Lethal Alchemy” I think this album is the best reflection of my style, both on songwriting and guitar playing. I think the writing of the album has been heavily influenced by artists and bands such as:


  • Liquid Tension Experiment
  • Planet X
  • Joe Satriani
  • Steve Vai
  • Tony MacAlpine
  • and many other bands & artists

As the reviews say, "Lethal Alchemy" mixes Rock, Metal, Prog and even Jazz showcasing Hard Rock in to one 59 minutes album! If you like guitar-oriented music, this album is for you ! I like to focus on song arrangement and instrumentation so I end up with complex songs, both musically and technically."

Hey Julien!

I wish I had more time to be in touch with all my MySpace friends... my schedule is just crazy this year... fully booked for recording sessions and scoring for TV. But right now I'm at home because I have a terrible flu so I decided to spend time getting in touch with everybody.

So what have u been up to? Any good news to share? What's going on with your life? Me... just spending time with my dogs (4 pugs, 2 yorkies and a chihuahua). I also started a new hobby: photography! Ohhhh, it's so much fun... I still suck at it but at least I am having fun.

Hey, not sure if you're one of the people who bought my CD from CDBaby but if you did, would you be kind enough to leave me a review over there? Last month a chef sent me a message saying that my music became her favorite choice for when she's cooking. Is that cool or what?

Keep in touch

Salut Julien,
Merci pour l'ajout et le commentaire.
J'ai laissé les EL34,J'aimerai les changer pour des EL34 Svetlana logo"C" ou sinon des 5881 Sovtek ou Tung sol (comme Soldano). J'ai changé les lampes du préamp (Tung sol,Sovtek Lps,Electro-harmonix EH )et j'ai repeint la grille.C'est un très bon ampli avec pleins de sons,juste peut être un peu dur à régler dans le détail ,mais je chipotte un peu.
Bonne journée.
