Tashi Dorji

Tashi Dorji

'Eclectic guitarist Tashi Dorji grew up in Bhutan, on the eastern side of the Himalayas. Access to any music created outside the country is limited, as are most cultural options, given the geographical isolation of the country. Yearning for access to the world outside, Dorji pursued and obtained scholarship to a liberal arts school in North Carolina, where he soaked up a vast array of music, most notably the works of Derek Bailey and John Zorn. Along the way, Dorji developed a playing style unbound by tradition, yet with a direct line to intuitive artistry. His recordings feature improvisations that spasmodically grow along tangential, surprising paths. All references break loose during a composition, as Dorji keys into his own inner world.'
