Alex Skolnick ‘MYSHKIN’

8pm

Percy Jones MJ12

MJ12 is Percy Jones solo project started with the collaboration with NYC based drummer Stephen Moses. Their sound combines prog-fusion-rock, free jazz and sly humor in precise romps, crushing grooves, drone-based improvisations. In Percy words: “We took the name from Majestik 12, which was supposedly a group of 12 scientists and engineers assembled in the late 40’s to investigate UFO’s. There is an ongoing debate as to whether this group actually existed or not. Stephen Moses and I had been doing gigs for a while where we would invite guests to sit in. We did all improv, so this was actually M&J +1 or 2. After a while we started using David Phelps and Chris Bacas on a regular basis if they were available. At this point we started writing stuff, but keeping a lot of the improv thing going to keep it spontaneous. The end result was bits and pieces of ideas coming from everybody that we’re all tied together to try and make a coherent tune, but with lots of blowing inside.”

‘MYSHKIN’ is a solo project of the heavy metal guitar icon and legend Alex Skolnick, versatile also as a jazz, fusion and progressive rock electric guitarist, as well world music acoustic guitarist. ‘Myshkin’ is an imaginary voyage through the human mind and spirit, exploring and expanding sonic boundaries using ambient soundscapes, loops, space guitar solos and much more.
