Best of Competition 2009 organized by the magazine ‘Guitar Player’ in order to unearth new talent, Steve Senes has convinced a jury composed of ruthless swordsmen of the six strings with Jennifer Batten, Earl Slick or Steve Lukather to name a few each.
It is with this recognition of his fathers that Steve offers us his first album entirely composed and recorded by him.
Extremely well produced, “From Theory Of Evolution” impresses on the power, velocity and variety of guitar playing the guitar. I do not remember during the last decade have been so convinced by an instrumental album.
Yet Steve Senes invent anything, which is both its strength and its greatest fault. His guitar playing is a perfect combination of speed and emotion but shamelessly draws its influences in the repertoire of his friends six string players so that ultimately it is very difficult to identify the character of this outstanding technician.
“From Theory Of Evolution” may ultimately be taken as a tribute to the great guitarists of recent years.
The journey begins with “The Swami” in countries dear to Joe “Satch” Satriani, he continues to land more groovy way Steve Morse “Greaseball” Senes of the universe is so versatile that it is impossible for a non-musician to be bored one second in discovering this album, a feat in itself.
Steve Vai, Eddie Van Halen, Kiko Loureiro, Chris Impellitteri, Zack Wylde to name a few obvious influences, all will receive the honor of being revisited by Steve Senes.
Steve has not only the gift of melting into the skin and the universe of each of its guitarists, but he can make the best, the result is often stunning. The clarity and sonic accuracy is such that we can enjoy and discover new nonstop small details over the plays.
Swift also qu’Yngwie Malmsteen calm but knowing the game time to a beautiful electro acoustic ballad like “Ruth” to make it fade Rudolph Schenker or to indulge in rhythmic Latin lighter with a “Mare Tranquillitatis” straight left the world of Carlos Santana, Steve Senes strikes a blow in the small world of guitar heroes.
Out of nowhere and pushed directly into the top ten largest shredders in the world, Senes is a name to remember, solo instrumental fashion or in a group where it could bring sparkle and genius.
Add some words to “High & Mighty” and you get the most biting piece fashionable Southerner would review that compose a Molly Hatchet.
Only real black spot, lack of personality makes Steve Senes elusive, impersonal, not allowing fans to six string sharp from the outset to recognize the early steps as a Joe Satriani, a Zack Wylde or Yngwie Malmteen ..
