THIS JUST IN (give or take a couple of days): my cd, "Rainshadow Sky", was selected ALBUM OF THE YEAR by radio hosts worldwide reporting to New Age Reporter (go ahead and click it- it's a safe link). A HUGE thanks to the dj's who voted for it!
NOTE: PLEASE write me a note first before sending a friend request- unless you're someone I know from the non-myspace world. I need to know that you're a "real person", and not another one of those myspace "phake phriend phor the purpose of phurious phishing and hacking accounts" Phreaks.... Also: before you send a friend request, ask yourself this question: "do I send out myspace bulletins every day, making observations about everything from how drunk I was last night, to asking my myspace friends to repost this ten year old internet chain letter so I can get a free computer from Bill Gates himself?" If so, please don't send me a friend request- you clearly have WAY too much going on in your life to waste time sending out friend requests to the likes of me.
.....and now, the bio:
"Jeff Pearce is a consummate musician and composer whose years in recording and performing have distinguished him as a premier player of the Chapman Stick, a brilliant hybrid guitar-like instrument that few players have dared approach. Combining ambient chordal structure and melody simultaneously, Jeff's performances are simply captivating. As someone who's shared the stage with Jeff, I've repeatedly witnessed the enthusiastic audience reactions to his performances; a wonderful evening of contemporary composition."- Will Ackerman, Windham county, VT.
Based in Indiana, Jeff Pearce is well known to the ambient/new age music
community for his unique approach to the guitar and Chapman Stick.
Whether playing intimate acoustic music or crafting deep-space drifts,
Jeff composes music which uniquely combines melody and mystery. His
most recent project, "Rainshadow Sky", features music composed for the
Chapman Stick, and recorded live at house concerts from late 2007 through summer 2008.
Jeff is also an active live performer, having played venues ranging from
historic churches and concert halls to planetariums and dance clubs. His
live performances are memorable events, mixing songs from his cd's with
humorous storytelling and surprising musical improvisations.
With nine full length cd's to his name, Jeff's music has received many
honors and much airplay since his first release in 1993. Jeff's music
has been reviewed in Billboard, Downbeat, and Guitar Player, and music
from his cd's has appeared in projects for Mercedes-Benz, Muzak, and the NBC Summer Olympics. And Jeff's music has been featured worldwide on the "Music from the Hearts of Space" radio program.
In 2004, Jeff briefly added "film composer" to his resume, scoring the animation
dvd "Luminous Dimensions" for computer animator Michael DuBois. Jeff
has also played "sideman" on a wide variety of projects, ranging from
space music composer Paul Avgerinos to folk singer Christie McCall.
Hello Jeff ~ I want you to know that I find great solace when listening to your music and "Rainshadow Sky" is a superb production. Just counting my blessings on this sad day of remembrance...
