I swear I found out about Jeffrey Naness from an email he sent me but
I can't find it anywhere.
I even have an unreleased track of his in iTunes--how
else could I have gotten it unless we corresponded?
He doesn't have a website, either
(note to all artists out there who have CDs for sale:
you
must have your own website).
Weird.
In any event, Jeffrey Naness,
(attorney by day,
daddy by evening,
keyboard wizard by night)
has put together an EP of his synth compositions and named it
Frenetic Passages.
According to him, his major influences are early Rush
(which scores him big points on my cool-o-meter)
and J.S. Bach.
His music, though, has neither guitars nor an orchestra so he ends
up sounding like his other big influence:
Wendy Carlos
(disclosure: I never got past the
Switched on Bach
albums
so that could be an overly broad comparison).
I like it.
It's a nice change of pace for me
plus I'm a sucker for albums by people toiling away in their spare time.
Check out the title track,
Frenetic Passage,
and
Broken Light.
