Tassilo

The instrumental acoustic guitar music presented, all new and original, combines intricate finger picking and evocative lyrical melodies with rythmic diversity. Tassilo was surrounded by music from his very beginning. His mother was a music teacher in Germany, where he was born. So it was only natural that he started playing instruments early in life and never stopped. The only formal training Tassilo received was for the first two instruments, recorder and violin. The music Tassilo composed in the Canadian wilderness is technically influenced by everything that he played before. From classic to jazz, from folk to ragtime, from celtic to latin, bluegrass to Spanish, all of these forces are at work.
