   About Blarvuster
Labyrinthine and florid melodies streaming over alien funk counterpoint make the ecstatic music of Blarvuster, the latest brainchild of critically acclaimed bagpiper/composer Matthew Welch. Inspired equally by Celtic lines and South East Asian ensemble textures as well as avant-garde rock and minimalism, Blarvuster's line-up of some of the brightest young stars in the New York experimental scene ardently evoke a seamless hybrid of musical languages that issues forth its own fictional tradition. "The Brooklyn-based composer leaps vast geographical distances, imagining statistically implausible musical melting pots that sound utterly natural...a composer possessed of both rich imagination and the skill to bring his fancies to life." - TimeOut NY

I love your stuff, man, and when it's perfect for a day like today and I need it to communicate that perfect thought to my other friends (many Celtic-obsessed and musicians) and I forget and I click "add" and I call you (affectionately) a fucking shithead because I can't...agh!!! Please, please, please make it where your work can be the theme of my week on this weird space called myspace. please, I beg. I'll buy it soon and tell all my friends to buy it so we can dance to it and I'll come see your shows in nyc when I finally get there. Please. please.
