Sharif Sehnaoui

Sharif Sehnaoui is a free improvising guitarist. He plays both electric & acoustic guitars, with (or without) the use of extended and prepared techniques, focusing on expanding the intrinsic possibilities of these instruments. His main groups and projects include the “A” Trio (with Kerbaj & Raed Yassin), “Wormholes” – an audio-visual performance with Kerbaj drawing live on a glass table, Karkhana, a Middle-Eastern based super-group combining musicians from Beirut, Cairo & Istanbul, and Calamita, an experimental rock power-trio he founded with Tony Elieh.
