This is the launch of Alec Ilyine's 3rd solo album, coming out on 23rd of June on Melbourne label Ramble Records.

Only recently moving to Melbourne, he is a new voice in the music scene (t)here. His music has been described as "something different", ready to be discovered.

Alec Ilyine is a Belgian electro acoustic musician mixing fingerpicking with fieldrecordings and effects on the iPad. Sweet melodies and compositions are used as frameworks for an improvisational practice, using steel string guitar, cavaquinho and taishogoto, and different kinds of flutes and found objects from over the whole world.

As an intrepid traveler, bird sounds and song are collected and used as a sonic representation or souvenir of a certain place or country.

His playing style could be described as contemporary fingerpicking guitar, with influences ranging from Indian ragas to Flamenco to Arabic music: a blend of classical, Spanish and freeform stylings layered against atonal drone elements.

Intuitive, cinematic and deeply felt.

Joining him this night:

The Man from Atlantis is the moniker for Melbourne musician Mike Sill. Mike has been involved in underground music since 1991, as a member of '90s art-prog-noise fusion project Ray of Creation and krautrock duo Imperial Leatherman.

The last ten years he's been performing under the name the Man from Atlantis primarily as a solo artist drawing on folk, country, blues, improvisation, American primitive guitar, Indian classical, and psychedelia.

The Man from Atlantis has released 7 solo recordings and collaborated with artists from Argentina, Finland, Greece, Japan, the USA and Brazil.
