Color Theory is the musical alter ego of Huntington Beach singer-keyboardist-songwriter Brian Hazard. Hazard creates piano-driven electronic pop with a romantic soul, combining the emotional intensity of Tori Amos with a spacious backdrop of luscious synths and dance floor beats to create a distinctly modern brand of pop sophistication. "Hazard writes songs that are intensely personal and uses technology to enhance material that is as emotive as the best folk." (Robert Kinsler, Orange County Register)
Color Theory’s latest release is Color Theory presents Depeche Mode, a one-man tribute to Depeche Mode, complete with two new instrumental interludes. The album reinvents eleven of their most underappreciated songs, and also includes the track "Ponytail Girl", the Color Theory original that was mistakenly credited as a Depeche Mode track from their Exciter album. To this day, several European web sites sell alternate versions of Exciter with Ponytail Girl included as a so-called bonus track.
The Southern California based one-man band has been stirring emotions since the 1994 release of Sketches In Grey. The first pressing sold out quickly, due almost exclusively to word-of-mouth. Demand was high for a new album, and Color Theory responded with the 1997 release of Tuesday Song, which includes a daringly non-fiction song used for a real-life marriage proposal. 1999 heralded the release of Perfect Tears, which is so intimate that it was successfully promoted through a series of personal ads. The album was in regular rotation at over 40 European commercial radio stations. 2001s Lifes Fairytale further explores Hazards electronic tendencies, while 2002s Something Beautiful features only acoustic instruments. Twenty-six weekly demo recordings were posted on the web as part of the Bad Song of the Week project, which allowed fans to vote for their favorites and decide which songs would ultimately be included on the album.
yer welcome! i found your song by accident years ago searching for DM stuff - even though it was the wrong band altogether, you sound very similar to Martin Gore and i love it - so thank YOU! :)
Brian, hope you have a good weekend, I've got a long drive coming up and I have my MP3 player loaded up with some good stuff, and yes, there's some Color Theory in there as well...cheers! Hope the album is going well. My first ex-wife (I've got a couple...) is a musician so I know the lifestyle.
Hey, Bobby Borg here just stopping by to check out your latest music, and telling you it sounds awesome. Great songs and great musicianship. Keep it up. Remember if you ever have any questions on the music biz, my new book The Musician’s Handbook is coming on April 15th. Please check it out, and good luck with everything.
All hail.Wowsa wowsa. Love your space by the way. Keep on keepin on. Music taste is sound as pound underground. Which is a ridiculous rhyme. Merci beaucoup for the add and your interest. I thought you might like to know that I have posted new videos for new fusion mixes. One that has just gone up is a radical combo of Rihanna with a dollop of Peter, Bjorn and John. Rebooted, filtered, animated, shaken, cut, pasted and smashed with a great hammer, deconstructed and turned into Young Folks with Umbrella. We would post it but you don't do html. Naughty child! There are other newey mixes featuring Coldplay and Kraftwerk and a new tune called Scooby Mama which moulds Fun Lovin Criminals to a Scissor Sisters. There's loads of tunes to screw with your brain cells and make you move on the myspace which is being updated with new tunes and vids regularly. Let us know what you think. Love and Peace. SeXDwArF. And remember...don't do genre. It's stereotype by another name.
Hi Brian, Thanks for the great tunes. I'm really diggin' Behind the Rhine and am looking forward to buying your next album. I'm sure it'll be even better than the last! And now for the spam.... Thanks so much for the add! We'd love it if you and your friends would check out our music and give us some feedback. Matt from TheNew25
Happy New Year B! I got your mail the other day but I briefly looked through it due to lack of time. Your Studio looked AWESOME btw :) I'll come back to you soon! / A
Hey Brian! Just stopping by cuz I bought Like Clockwork the other day, and I wasn't suprised at all of how amazing it was. Thanks for the awesome tunes, keep 'em comin!
Will the Real Martin Gore please stand up....Cant tell just by the voice? Well most of the world cant either. Pont Tail girl fooled even the record label executs in Europe who put it on a Depeche Mode single remix..... But Color theory stands on its own. great songs and sound, What an exceptional artist.
