First broadcast live from Blockhouse Studios on WFHB on Saturday, September 29, 2018
Nicknamed the “Hendrix of Hurdy-Gurdy,” Guilhem Desq breathes new life and innovation into this old-world instrument – a deep-barreled, lute-shaped string instrument whose sound is generated by a the turning of a crank. Desq electrifies this originally acoustic instrument and plays a wide variety of genres on it – anything from traditional European folk to Middle-Eastern tunes, contemporary rock, hip-hop, and electronica.
