Name: Barton Viar
Skills: Composer, Singer, Soloist
Address: United States
Links: E-mail
 
Well composed with outstanding time and care, Barton's music is classically centered, rooted in Memphis blues and is bright and airy with attractive complex melodies of extraordinary depth. The artist indeed combines extremely accurate guitar playing with wonderful keyboards and lush non-lyrical heavenly sensual female and male vocals provided either by Mimi and/or Barton.

All his influences are captured, from eastern spiritual, blues, southern rock, metal, rock-a-billy, blue-grass, Celtic and even hip-hop, using modern electric and ancient acoustic sting instruments. From the first note of his work, I was captivated by the simplicity and beauty of an extraordinary musician. Naturally roused tones are used to create a sound that is unique, otherworldly, and elegant. The resulting whole is an opulent, sensually arousing tapestry.

My name is Jordi Vives i Batlle and I am a composer who lives in Cumbria, United Kingdom. I have been composing music since 1995. During that time I have earned a Diploma in Music from the Open University. Some of my most recent scores include piano music, piano and solo instrument (clarinet, saxophone), works for string quartet and various works for chamber ensembles. My style has been described as having modern tendencies towards the atonal/serial, but also leaning in the Classical/Romantic tradition.

I have a number of works in a web site, http://members.sibelius#music.com/jvives/, which is part of the Scorchmusic self-publishing venture set up by Sibelius/Scorch. One of these works (clarinet fantasia) is actually being rehearsed for a prospective public performance. In addition to my self-published works I have substantial manuscripts in various stages of revision including a string quartet in G minor and a twelve-tone (serial) piano sonata, among others. I have also an interest in film music.

I wonder if you would be so kind to visit my web page. This would allow you to listen to some of my music (after downloading from site the free Scorch 2 plugin) and perhaps leave a review or two for me to read.
