Stian Westerhus (30) is the most exciting guitarist on the Norwegian experimental music scene, his vinyl only release ”Galore” (TLRC1) and his new solo album ”Pitch Black Star Spangled” showing a musician challenging and stretching the limits of his instrument beyond the normal confines of the electric guitar, balancing raw expressiveness against virtuosity and melodic instinct. Stian is a founder member of Puma and the Monolithic duo with Motorpsycho drummer Kenneth Kapstad. He was for a short period a member of Jaga Jazzist and played on their ”One-Armed Bandit” album and is currently a member of Nils Petter Molvær´s new trio.
