About Me

one week till christmas temperatue is fine. we sat in my truck and looked up at the sky. white masses racing ready to collide. i shouldnt be here i shouldve said goodbye.

Acoquin is a piano driven alternative rock band fronted by 22 year old composer and recording artist Julian Forte. This project involves the bringing together of a set of unlikely instruments and song writing styles that provide for a music experience that is both interesting and moving for several different audiences. Acoquin's arrangements include carefully chosen lyrics and movie sound track-style progressions that build up to magnificent climaxes where listeners become immersed in the sounds that surround them. Backed my Mike Ghielmetti, Alex Shalak and Pat Scott, live performances feature alternating drum patterns and rythms that add a rare element to the music. Acoquin also has a softer side where Forte explores the power of the acoustic guitar and djembe in a more intimate setting.
