Sounds Like
Although influenced by many of the above artists, John tries to create a magical and unique sound that transcends description. He provides a masterful collection of eclectic influences, all woven together into a compelling tapestry of lush soundscapes. Jazz, ambient and progressive elements are frequently anchored by a danceable rhythm section. Diverse ethnic percussion on many tracks, provides for a memorable multicultural experience.
If you get a chance, please take a listen to our first New Age release "Instrumental Piano Music" by Solo Piano Relaxing Music. We'd love to know what you think of it! WE have free downloads at our labels site for you to download.
Thank you for the invite! Oh, I really like your sound! I'll be sure to add it soon to my playlist! I'm actually a myspacer that promotes and features my friends music on my page. Thank you again! =)
