About Me

Thierry Pontet explore depuis longtemps, à travers la guitare et le « rock métalisé », les différentes couleurs résonnant sur notre planète. Son goût pour cet exotisme a été inspiré par des gens comme Richie Blackmore ou Jimmy Page ainsi que Jason Becker et Marty Friedman. Il a trouvé exactement les musiciens qu'il lui fallait pour réaliser son groupe de rêve "Xplorer4". En ce moment il est en studio pour réaliser un CD et un DVD de la version acoustique d'Xplorer4 avec d'autres musiciens tout aussi talentueux, Zoltan Szanto au violon alto, Outman "tomate" aux percussions, Olivier Ollin à la basse et toujours Olivier Tronquet au chant. Le groupe sera prêt pour le début de l'année 2009. Pour tout contact 0616122569.Thierry explore since quite a while, through the guitar and metallic rock, the different sounding colors of our planet.
