christianmarques Christian Marques Lisbon as a multi-instrumentist and cross-genre musician, I mostly focus on instrumental ambient music. my first solo project - which has recently been baptized as 'the beauty of not breathing' - started as an attempt to create some post-rock, instrumental music loosely based on my idols : godspeed you! black emperor, mogwai, sigur rós and every other post-rock geniuses who led me to this path. it also draws inspiration from the sea, its greatness and loneliness. in this project i played the electric guitar and other instruments. later, i decided to take a softer approach on ambient instrumental music, and experiment with other instruments. in 'monolith landscapes' i took on the trumpet, english concertina, glockenspiel, and other instruments in order to give sound to Italo Calvino's masterpiece 'The Invisible Cities'. each song tries to describe one of Calvino's imaginary cities. right now i'm focusing on acoustic folk songwriting, in a project which is still unnamed, but will soon present itself to you, listeners and friends. hope you enjoy my music. best regards, christian. christianmarques’s tracks Conference of The Wolves by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:49Z The Roman Empire by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:48Z The Village by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:47Z Tell Me Lies by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:45Z We Fall by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:44Z The Wayfarer by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:43Z Bass Solo / Group Tapping by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:42Z Fountain of Youth by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:41Z Always You by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:40Z Small Hands (Keaton Henson Cover) by christianmarques published on 2016-08-25T21:57:39Z
