SOLO / Robert Jürjendal – charity concert in support of Ukraine

GUITAR OF HUNDRED VOICES is Robert Jürjendal’s experimental solo project since 2013. In addition to various guitars, he also uses a lot of electronics which vary by concert venue. He prefers to perform in old churches and industrial buildings, where the electronic guitar sounds are complemented by the acoustics characteristic of the venue.
