风景吉他二重奏

TerraGuitarra（大地吉他）是“世界上最好的新弗拉明戈吉他组合之一”-ZMR，拥有1张第一和3张世界前5名专辑，并拥有多个“年度专辑”提名。Patchouli（帕秋莉）是一个民间节日的艺术总监，该组合以他们磁性的嗓音和音乐，荣获美国公共广播最受欢迎、最佳歌曲创作的二重奏组合。芝加哥论坛报评价说，他们的音乐可以“激发人的精神”。

令人惊讶的是，这个组合所创造的全部作品，均出自JuliePatchouli（朱莉·帕秋莉）和Bruce Hecksel（布鲁斯·海克赛尔）两个人的创作，他们是是如此多才多艺。当两把吉他融合到一起时，一种特别的结合就会立刻显现出来，他们的创新、打击乐器的配合，以及手指完美的技巧让精明的听众都不知道鼓手在哪里。“他们是如何让两个吉他听起来像一个10人的乐队，真是不可思议！”RJLannen

不仅于此，布鲁斯同时还是一位备受赞誉的视觉艺术家和画家，他们共同创作了一种原创的标志性绘画风格。大地吉他的意思是吉他的风景，而这正是他们所创造的，100多张不同的、充满活力的、由吉他形状组成的风景画。

但这只是一个开始，经过20年的旅行和艺术展览，他们梦想着结合他们的音乐和绘画遍布世界各地。在2016年冬天，他们开始制作动画绘画，让这些绘画真正动起来，于是他们所创造的“吉他风景”项目由此诞生了。这些画作是为音乐而创作，因为作曲家和画家是同一个动画，以无与伦比的方式结合音乐演出。观众可以生动的感受到高清画面，包括吉他鸟飞过、吉他峡谷和吉他树林，吉他蜻蜓在吉他花园，吉他美人鱼在吉他海洋游泳等等。这是一个近距离感受艺术家和艺术作品的机会，看看他们想像的是什么。

他们代表性作品从火热的西拔牙舞曲“马拉加舞曲”，到美妙的抒情歌曲“寂静之声”（《毕业生》主题曲），并将他们精心创作的精美画卷相结合，带给观众全新的音乐及视觉体验。风景吉他组合是一个真正独特的，令人振奋的创意组合。帕秋莉的歌曲创作出“任何可能的”的歌词，该组合被誉为“西蒙和加芬克尔（一支美国著名男声重唱组合）的和声，吉普赛之吉他之王和梵高的色彩”，他们创作的初衷是为各个时代的人们创造快乐和幸福。

帕秋莉和大地吉他至今已演奏了4000多场演出，巡演走过了一百万英里的路途，发行了20张CD专辑，获得了歌曲创作奖、行业奖等诸多奖项，多次参与广播、电视节目演出，并在全球广播节目中播放。

The paintings were created tothe music and because the composer and the painter are one in the same theanimation fits the performance in an unparalleled way. In vivid HD guitar birdssoar over guitar canyons and thru guitar woods, guitar dragonflies buzz inguitar gardens, guitar mermaids swim in guitar oceans and more.
