about

Haptikon is a set of very-electric-guitar pieces accompanied by computer. Haptikon may be heard as an outgrowth of E#’s Tectonics project.

Where Tectonics was a form of psychedelic noise jungle techno played on both saxophones and guitars interacting electronically with computerized grooves and processing, with Haptikon, the focus is on a more melodic and lyrical approach.

E# pays homage to improvised traditions in jazz, blues, rock, Indian music, and even country & western! The results are cinematic in scope and give the feeling of a full band. Sharp’s virtuosity on guitar and originality as a composer are in full evidence on Haptikon.

REVIEWS

Lunghe jam chitarristiche, mai sotto i sette minuti, in alcuni frangenti anche più dilatate, che esplorano i suoni della sei corde muovendosi fra mondi diversi, facendoli alla fine risultare liminari – Buscadero

Sharp avoids high speed solos and the kind of look-what-I-can pyrotechnics, rather focusing on creating great compositions and sound experiences, and at times incredibly strong dramatic effects. The joy of electric guitar – freejazzblog.org

I hadn’t heard an album this expansive – this band-like – from E# in a long time, and it feels good – Monsieur Délire
