Sounds Like
David Wright......but for reference, Mike Oldfield, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis, Steve Roach and Kitaro.
The beautiful new studio album "Dreams and Distant Moonlight" is now available. Some sound bites here and more on the AD Music website where the CD can be pre-ordered. The album feature music that David has been working on for over a year and features Code Indigo guitarists Andy Lobban and Nigel Turner Heffer on some tracks. The album is a mixture of laid back chill out music and gently rhythmic instrumental music electronica that stylistically is a cross between his two best works, Walking with Ghosts and Continuum.
David Wright is the UK based keyboard player and composer who founded the AD Music label in 1989. Concentrating on melodic music that is often difficult to categorise because it crosses ambient, new age, world and electronic styles. David is also co-founder (with Robert Fox) of the ambient/electronic rock band Code Indigo and he collaborates with Dave Massey as the electronic music duo Callisto.
The music of David Wright is characterised as melodic and emotive, with atmospheric, ambient and ethereal traits, gently rhythmic and laced with classical, rock, jazz and cultural influences.
David Wright has released eighteen instrumental albums as a solo performer, and seven with Code Indigo and Callisto, establishing a strong reputation in Europe and the USA. He has also been involved as a musician, producer and engineer on many other albums through his own Planet Recording Studio.
..
His sound and style is original, so without actually sounding like any of them, reference points would be Kitaro, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre and Mike Oldfield. An established live performer, he has appeared with, amongst others, Jonn Serrie and Klaus Schulze. His music is regularly featured on radio playlists worldwide and has featured on Sky, British TV and numerous international CD compilations. Most of David Wright's catalogue is published by Notting Hill Music.
David says, "I love music - it's my life and I'm lucky to be able to do what I love for a living. I've always composed and recorded music that is important to me - music with an emotional content, and I hope that 'emotion' connects to people who listen. Music is a spiritual experience that touches each of us in different ways - it is the language of emotion".
I hope all is well and good and I just wanted to let you know I've just put up a new track called ECHO so I thought you might want to have a listen. :o) It's just the instrumental version I did not long ago but I do have a full section of vocal to arrange into this track so I'll keep you posted on the outcome! :o)
I appreciate your time and support and any comments posted.
Thx - great track anyway and wonderfull sounds you're creating;o)
I have a full pre-release Sample CD up on my profile called "Music for Gardens". 9 melodic/abstract piano improvisations recorded over a period of two years. Feel free to stop by - Any feedback is most welcome!
It is like one, long suite of organic, moving and explorative music with a romantic touch;o)
Hi david - thanks for the ADD! I really love your sound and compositions .. especially "The Call" - is that your singing or who or how? Stop by my place one day for a listen - would be great to hear what you think;o) All the best to you and those around you Regards Nicky Bendix
I finally was able to get a copy of "Dreams and Distant Moonlight." It is another stunning release. Beautiful melodies, and Andy's guitar work is breathtaking. Thanks again for making our lives a little more beautiful.
