JERO11 [ジェロ十一]
Shamisen / Guitar / CG Art / Composition
Performer
JERO11 (ジェロ十一)
is a UK-based guitarist and shamisen (三味線) player that performs progressive metal mixed with traditional Japanese instruments or wagakki (和楽器).
His original works are inspired by the Hirajōshi scale (平調子) a tuning adapted by Yatsuhashi Kengyō from the shamisen to the 13 string koto (箏), which JERO translates to the guitar.
JERO11 wants to promote traditional Japanese music through his original works and covers of anime, vocaloid & video game soundtrack.
He is based in Cardiff, but travels around the UK, Europe and Japan at various Japanese culture festivals, live events, anime, film and gaming conventions to spread Japanese music.

Guitar / Shamisen
JERO11 is a proud ambassador of GOC Guitars, with his 7-string Ilumina (Tundra) fitted with custom pickups from beta blockers.
JERO11 also built his own electric shamisen using a shelf, random pieces of wood, fishing wire and a piezo. He performs his own style of shamisen playing, a blend of traditional Tsugaru shamisen techniques and electric guitar playing.
CG Artist
JERO11 is also a 3D Artist, with a style that has a specific focus on isometric projection of guitars and instruments, including his flagship GOC Guitars Ilumina, Vajra and his home-built box shamisen.
JERO11 produces all of his CGI animations for his live shows, synchronised to his heavy metal backing tracks for immersive engagement with his audience.
