A self-taught guitarist, Nicolas Lafourest is a musician with a singular and instinctive instrumental practice, with raw, harsh and impulsive energy. An intimate and direct way of playing where the intentions oscillate between sentimental atmospheres, experimental deconstructions and broken, distorted refrains. A music with repetitive, noisy and melodic motifs that constantly mix tension and fragility, softness and roughness.

Nicolas Lafourest currently plays in Granit Lip (with Marc Démereau), Xibipíío (with Betty Hovette), solo Forêt, The And, Cannibales & Vahinés, Coddiwomple (G.W. Sok, O.Mellano) and La Cachette (with the Baro d'evel company)...
