Alexander Turnquist

New York-via-Idaho composer and musician Alexander Turnquist has mastered blending neoclassical acoustic folk with modern experimental drone to create truly impressive compositions. Working primarily on a 12-string guitar and occasionally utilizing a percussive playing style coupled with electronic noise from analog equipment, Turnquist builds a contrast between the pastoral and the aggressive. Since the release of his debut album in 2007, the talented composer has garnered a respectable amount of acclaim and has toured his music nationwide.
