Zweeback is a one man band.
I started music when I was 6 with the piano, then with a classical guitar at 11 (learning classical stuff and flamenco). I learned the basement of blues with a folk guitar. About 14, I found the Graal, a Fender Stratocaster that I never left for another one.
I kept on composing and recording, first on a four tracks machine (Tascam portastudio 464), then on a computer when I found a job and build a homestudio piece by piece. (see below)
The albums
These are compilations of different explorations on my instruments : folk, electric, bass guitars, banjo, and virtual instrument strings and drums. It include differents styles, mainly folk, rock, pop… and country on the second album.
Every song is designed as a research, I mostly avoid to follow the rules : 9/10 of the songs are composed with an open tuning, different at each time. I prefer to feel lost and discover something than repeat over and over same things.

The good thing when you’re robbed, is that you are separated from a low quality equipment you would have never sold. Then you can upgrade. (Thanks to the burglars to leave the guitars)
I took a mac + logic express
