| Justin Lépany Komponist, Gitarrist lepany.com contact@lepany.com Born 1980 in Tokyo As a composer and performer: my philosophy of music is simple and founded on one and only value: honesty. It may sound cheesy so please let me explain. On the one hand, a musician should always look forward and search for new directions and experiments to do; on the other hand, one must never deny his influences. Far too much musicians belong to two opposing categories that make no sense to me: some are stuck in the past and some won’t even acknowledge the past. On top of that, a musician, even ambitious, should accept that one can only be good at one or a few different things. I’m tired of all those people who pretend they can play, compose and teach Flamenco, Jazz-fusion, Delta Blues, French Baroque Music and Death Metal (and that’s the shortened version) on a top-level when some of the greatest musicians spend a full lifetime exploring the same style. Faithful to those principles, I just work hard in order to be hopefully able to say one day: I’ve found my very own style. |
