Scott Mosher has been an independent self-financed musician for over 15 years, a professional graphic artist since 1997, a rabid idealist for longer than he can remember, and an allroundniceguy his entire life. Lest you think this compromises his creative ethos, you would be sorely mistaken and forthwidth, your library card will be revoked.
In his creative exploits, Mr. Mosher employs a combination of elements, techniques and influences that pulls inspiration from the past yet looks forward to the future. The end result is an evocative mix of sometimes disparate musical genres and artistic motivation into an invigorating, dramatic whole. One could use the term experimental but his vision remains dynamic, progressive and modern.
Beginning with his first CD, Ambient Earth, released in 1996, Scott began to carve a path for himself regardless of boundaries, constraints and more fortuitiously, music industry support. He continued on this road with the release of Virtuality in 2001 and Inferno in 2004 and his fourth - and newest - CD, Deep Horizon, promises to expand upon his previously established musical direction. Take 20 lbs. of heavy guitar-driven rock, a progressive approach to rhythmic meter and song composition, mix with 32 oz. of ambient/trance music, ad a dash of electronic new age, and a dose of pop music sensibility... shake, stir, and imbibe.
Although he has never appeared on the Arsenio Hall Show, won a Grammy Award, graced the cover of ROLLING STONE magazine or been involved in a corporate embezzlement schemes, Scott continues to ply his trade with determination and a great set of Ginzu knives. For all the emphasis placed upon his art as a hybrid of styles, ideals and emotions, his music stands as a personal artistic statement - yet fits all head sizes.
- Here are a few links you should have memorized and bookmarked:
About Deep Horizon (CD, 2006):
THIS is the new full-length CD from musician/graphic artist/niceguy Scott Mosher, is an ambitious and dramatic musical journey that synthesizes a diverse range of influences under the banner of contemporary progressive metal. Featuring the vocal talents of Wind Wraith/Live After Death/Inner Strength vocalist, Scott Oliva, and an emphasis on powerful vocal melodies, lush keyboard textures and a dynamic, guitar-oriented sound, Deep Horizon makes a strong artistic statement where progressive metal and modern rock converge. This is progressive music and this is Deep Horizon.
About Inferno (CD, 2004):
INFERNO expands upon the synthesis of heavy progressive rock and ambient textured soundscapes established on VIRTUALITY. It continues in his tradition of synthesizing heavy progressive rock and ambient electronic music embellished by melodic guitar work, mellifluous vocals and impressionistic lyrics. INFERNO delves further into the worlds of hauntingly melodic and dark evocative music. With a stronger emphasis on vocal arrangements, guitar-based dynamics and dramatic song structures, INFERNO makes a bold statement as the next step in artistic evolution... and fits all head sizes.
About Virtuality (CD, 2001):
VIRTUALITY merges the musical worlds of progressive metal, ambient, new-age and cinematic rock in a contemporary fusion of trance-inspired song structures. The thematic soundscapes of VIRTUALITY forge a dramatic and atmospheric listening experience without genre specific constraints while attaining a dynamic rarely heard in todays corporate musical climate. All in all, this is a distinct, diverse and dynamic release from someone who is not afraid to merge a hybrid of musical genre's, showcase his digital artwork, and share his spirited personal convictions, while maintaing his position as the original allroundniceguy.
About Ambient Earth (CD, 1996):
This is the first CD release from Mr. Mosher following his MONUMENTSOF CHAOS (available on cassette) in 1995. AMBIENT EARTH paints the surreal landscapes of the cosmic mind and the infinite imagination using electronic instrumentation, analog and digital, and weaving them together in a haunting and beautiful combination of ambient progressive space rock, and contemporary new age music. Tribal rhythms merge with lush, dreamy chord washes, mysterious and majestic melodies combine with abstract, contemplative textures. It is at once strangely ominous and eerily evocative. Rich in synth melodies and tribal percussion, interspersed with guitar and exotic instrumentation throughout its expansive 75-minute running time.
