Eric Arn (USA)

Originally from the United States, Eric Arn has been living in Vienna for some time, where his distinctive guitar playing has made him a fixture of the city’s free improvisation scene. His performances combine original compositions with extended techniques, microtonal gestures, and dense sonic textures, creating a unique musical language rooted in spontaneous interaction. His latest album fixe Idee is a fascinating exploration of the world of solo guitar—its possibilities as well as its limitations. Honest, courageous, and groundbreaking, it offers a deeply personal perspective on the instrument and its expressive potential.
