Episode 41 of The Ambient Vault podcast features special guest Jan Esbra. Jan is a New York City-based Colombian guitarist and composer known for his “mesmerizing soundscapes and innovative ideas”. Combining elements from minimalism, ambient and improvised music he created evolving, textural soundscapes.
Jan’s debut solo album entitled “Temporary Objects'' was released on August 27, 2021 and is a collection of improvisations using guitars, samplers and various effects pedals. On this episode of the podcast we feature tracks from the album and really appreciate Jan sharing with us here on The Ambient Vault.
Aside from his solo work, Jan has released music with his bands Jade Collective and Bird Lite and has worked with Becca Stevens, Ben Wendel, Catey Esler and Eva Gertz. He has a Bachelor's degree in Jazz Composition and Music Business from Berklee College of Music and participated in the 2020 New Amsterdam Composers.
