Obi Blanche

Obi Blanche is a Finnish born experimental guitarist, producer, and instrument builder. He has chosen guitar as his main sound source because of its physicality, energy, and direct connection to the human body. He’s interested in creating new sounds by modifying the instrument and altering the signal chain starting from the guitar itself. Dirty transistor distorted electronic beats and squealing no wave guitar destruction are mixed together in his personal take on melodic popular music. Building his own guitar (known as ‘Rake’), with the guidance of Dutch inventor Yuri Landman, has been the culmination of the research towards his sound: perfectly imperfect and raw. Currently playing guitar and producing with Thomas Azier, former guitarist of Anika (Stones Throw) and Norman Palm (City Slang).
