Dave Kulju is a highly regarded, vital guitarist from Rochester, New Hampshire (U.S.A.) who describes his style as instrumental progressive rock, as documented on his latest release, "Abstract Expression".  His guitars of choice consist of a Neil Bryan Custom Guitar Model NBC-P and a Model NBC-T. Kulju has played guitar since 1982, and openly affirms his career goal, "As an indie playing instrumental progressive music I have to be
realistic about the degree of commercial success I'll achieve. So I
focus on being best musician/composer I can, recording and engineering
my works as well as possible, and then trying to get the product of
that labor out into my niche market with viral marketing. From there
I'm content to let the chips fall where they may."
When prompted to reveal his preferred effect for the guitar, Kulju responded with, "TC Electronics G-Force," and offered his musicial goals, "To express a greater range of emotions and ideas, in greater shades and
nuances." He would like to someday study orchestration, and is currently listening to Echolyn, Hydria Spacefolk, Steve Morse, Andy Summers, and Niacin. His greatest satisfaction? "Compstion and arranging," he states unambiguously.
 Kulju notes ongoing and upcoming projects thusly, "I'll be recording a follow up to "Abstract Expression", work on a new Electrum
album, and perhaps start a space rock project with an eye to doing more
live playing."
Guitar Nine Records visitors have compared the playing style and/or musical approach of Dave Kulju to guitarists such as Alex Lifeson and others.
Kulju's discography (available here at Guitar Nine Records) includes one solo album ("Abstract Expression") and participation on a number of other recordings (Electrum "Standard Deviation", Gino Foti "Sphere Of Influence", Gino Foti "Orbis Terrarum").
