On 'Drift Lines' Belgium guitarist Alec Ilyine weaves a wondrous soundscape utilising 6 and 12 string guitar intertwined with field recordings, rhythms and pulses. 

Ilyine is a Belgian electro acoustic musician mixing fingerpicking with fieldrecordings and effects on the iPad. Sweet melodies and compositions are used as frameworks for an improvisational practice, using steel string guitar, cavaquinho and taishogoto, and different kinds of flutes and found objects from over the whole world.

Taking his cues from Basho, Fahey and the like, Ilyine's dexterous guitar work draws on contemporary fingerpicking guitar, with influences ranging from Indian ragas to Flamenco and Arabic music: a blend of classical, Spanish and freeform stylings layered against atonal drone elements.

Intuitive, cinematic and deeply felt and gorgeously recorded, Drift Lines is a delicate and lysergic landscape for daydreamers and drifters alike.
