about

The guitar has permeated all corners of the Earth. In the future, inspiration may come from unexpected places.

Julius Schwing is an improvising guitarist and composer from Bruny Island, Tasmania. From this remote outpost – closer to Antarctica than the Asian mainland – he creates challenging music that reflects this extraordinary environment, which “soaks into [his] subconscious.”

Born in Vienna, Julius started playing guitar at age nine. Since the age of thirteen has toured performed in Australia, Europe, India, New Zealand, and North America. He has collaborated extensively with many artists including Scott Tinkler, Bae Il Dong, Aakash Mittal, Christian Windfeld, and has led his own trios, quartets, and quintet. Julius has released 7 albums, including 6 on his own creative music label Isthmus Music. He’s twice been invited to the Banff International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music, placed third in the National Jazz Awards and has been nominated for the Freedman Jazz Fellowship.

“Schnitlach Brot” is an improvised acoustic piece from the album ‘Wagtail,’ of which Julius says:

“My focus when recording this music was on capturing the detail and nuances of touch on the instrument. My goal was to embrace the scrapes, plinks and plonks of the finger noise while playing and incorporate them into the music making, creating a textural subtext to the "traditional" flow of notes… the alternate tunings used are also improvised, done shortly before recording so I don't get a chance to learn them.”
