Guitar player, I mainly play acoustic with two guitars, one Tailor and the other "sit-guitar" I designed and had custom-made with 16 strings, which sounds in between a guitar and a sitar.
As a musician and composer, I am currently involved in different world music projects: from India to Africa.
One of the projects involves Indian Classical and some of my compositions are accompanied by a tabla player, frequently Nabankur Bhattacharya (dit Pinku)),This project also includes my artistic quest and work from the past 8 years and the many different projects and Indian musicians I have been involved with during this time. more infos www.marcliebeskind.com/bio
The group Taffetas is the second project and can be defined as a blend of many influences. West-African roots, Indian and Mongolian influences with a lot of improvisation all mixed together. The other musicians involved in Taffetas are Ibrahima Galissa on Kora, Nana Cissokho playing Kora and singing, Christophe Erard playing bass and double bass and singing, and myself playing guitar. We have recently added percussion with Ibrahima Ndaye playing calabash and Djembé.
3 CDs have been released www.taffetas.ch, www.cdbaby.com/tafetas
From 1978 to 1998, I mainly played jazz, with an electric guitar, and I released three records with my quartet and one with a group called Little Big beat, “http//www.marcliebeskind.com“> www.marcliebeskind.com
I am also a sound engineer and producer, and recorded several projects in Africa and in India with my studio “Nomad Hip Studio“. www.marcliebeskind.com/release
« GendeRevolution » est le fruit de 10 années de périples et de voyages en Inde à étudier intensément la musique classique de l’Inde du Nord . Il présente un projet de «world-impro-jazz» vraiment original s’inspirant d’une musique millénaire et présente également un nouvel et unique instrument, la « sit-guitare » que j'ai conçue spécialement pour jouer de la musique Indienne. Cette guitare s’apparente par certains côtés au sitar ou au sarode, et a en plus des 6 cordes normales, 10 cordes additionnelles, 2 cordes servant de bourdons (chikari) et 8 cordes servant de cordes sympatiques (taraf). ..
Toutes les compositions sont originales et basées sur des “ragas“, morceaux aux développements multiples et aux sonorités riches teintées d’atmosphères orientales de blues, de jazz ou de musique africaine.
