Sean Shibe (electric guitar)
Sean Shibe’s second PENTATONE album Lost & Found is an ecstatic journey containing music by outsiders, mystics, visionaries, who often have more than one identity and lay claim to various artistic traditions, genres, or audiences. The repertoire ranges from Hildegard von Bingen to Olivier Messiaen, Moondog, Julius Eastman, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, Meredith Monk, Shiva Feshareki, Oliver Leith and Daniel Kidane. Stretching ten centuries, these pieces are bound together by Shibe’s unique electric guitar sound and aesthetic.
The first print run of this album comes with an exclusive polaroid picture of Sean at the recording sessions.
Multi-award-winning guitarist Sean Shibe brings a fresh and innovative approach to the traditional classical guitar, while also exploring contemporary music and repertoire for electric guitar. He continues his exclusive collaboration with PENTATONE after his well-received label debut Camino (2021).

The album brings together ten, seemingly disparate composers between whom Shibe traces a journey that’s as unsettling as it is exquisite and profoundly searching, steeped in a kind of weightless wonder.
October 2022
Despite the surface eclecticism, Shibe’s unique approach to the electric guitar – one based as much on exploring atemporal textures as on finding the vox humana, rather than the diabolus, in musica – binds together these pieces.

Here’s another bonkers-at-first-glance, brilliantly curated album from the guitarist Sean Shibe...A lot of the music is meditative. Some of it skirts perilously close to chill-out, or would do if Shibe let it: instead, whenever we might be lulled into inactive listening Shibe provides something subversive...You won’t know what’s hit you.
