Jürgen Augusteyns (°Ghent, 1972) is a Belgian guitarist/composer.
For the last couple of years Jürgen mainly has been focusing on his genre crossing/blending solo-guitar work, developing a distinct, recognisable style influenced by guitarists such as Loren Connors, Chris Forsyth, Mick Turner and Marisa Anderson but also musicians and bands by the likes of Glenn Branca, Oren Ambarchi and Six organs of admittance, to name a few.
Instant composing is the common thread in both his recordings and his live performances, often making use of minimalist structures and repetitive patterns.
