This will bring you directly to the guitar solo of "Opium For The Slaves" which is quite a good representation of my main influences with this "Steve Vai meets David Gilmour" kind of thing ... 
Its appearance in the full experience of this track is meant as some kind of joyfull and peacefull spiritual climax, although, I m hoping you can also enjoy it just as it is ...

Opium For The Slaves (guitar Only)

This is I believe the only composition that has no guitars on it , and strangely it is probably the one I cherish the most ... 
It is directly influenced by a symphonic masterpiece composed by Jerry Goldsmith for the openning of Ridley Scott's "Alien". There is , in the first minutes a very specific flute melody that keep striking me everytime I hear it ... and that's what did it.
So it is written for a flute octet , altos and sopranos . I recorded it in 2004 if memory serves and choreographed a contemporary dance trio on it , in Germany in 2007. 
It features in the third album of Planete Sauvage , and also gave it its name.

The Strange Mood Of The Dirty Rocks

"Fly" is the first recording of my new band project "J.A.L Experiment" together. recorded and mixed in Berlin. It is a fine piece for electric guitar, with a "Californian 80's Rock" flavor to it and a more "Spacy Floydyish" kinda thing to it. You can experience here its full version, with a more etherial "second act", before the track rocks on again ...

Line up:
Drums : Chris Tone
Bass Guitars : Hartwig Nickola
Electric Guitar , Electric Sitar and Synthesizers : Julian Avril Logvinenko.
produced and performed by J.A.L Experiment , written and mixed by Julian Avril Logvinenko

Fly (Long distance)

"The Fall Of Uzziel" is one of these very narrative compositions. It starts with a very aerial and languishing E-guitar solo that has in it three different  parts . It rises up until its unevitable fall to the ground and into a heavy post-rocklike rythmic section that ends in an apocalyptic climax . 
This is a very personnal composition , the story of a crisis and the fights to get out of it. I hope you' ll enjoy it.
It belongs to the album "Rebels Of The Neon God" from Planete Sauvage that you can listen and download here with many other things:

The Fall Of Uzziel

This was composed in 2006 for a Dance performance called "Frida" from the Chroreographer Jaroslaw Jurasz. This ballet was dedicated to Frida Kahlo's art and life. This number was about Frida's terrible condition after her accident. One of the interesting things I can say about this track is that I recorded the strings section on the electric guitar played with the violin bow , 24 tracks if memory serves, split into 3 and four voices ... So virtually it is an e-guitar orchestra. I still find the result quite surprising , specially in the "tremolo" sections .
The other thing is , that because of scedule keeping obligations , the choreograhy had been previously made and fixed on anther music, so I had to write every single bar of this track to correspond to either a step or an action of the mise en scene, it was quite challenging ...

Frida - Colors In Pain  (2006)

"Beyond Reach" is conceived as a Postlude , to close my solo album "Exode" released for Planete Sauvage under my pseudo "Uzziel". It is a nice and quiet piece of guitar music , I hope you'll enjoy its dreamy atmosphere ...

Beyond Reach

"Moustache" was written and produced by Julian in 2009 , before the existence of the band , but it will definitely be taken over and performed by it . 
This track is dedicated to Frank Zappa and his imperial moustache ! ... hence the title, the tortuous melodies and the humoristic tone ...
