Painting Twilight - $15.95

Drawing on his experience as an abstract painter and his influences from impressionist and expressionist masters, Rownd works his compositions much like art on canvas: he pulls melody and theme forward from background to create depth of field and movement from what might appear still and flat. This sonic palette, so deftly wielded, produces profound vignettes of color and light that transcend many musical boundaries. Painting Twilight is a textural, almost ambient work. More minimalistic in structure and subtle in melodic themes, it evokes a sense of awe and wonderment that suggests the magical hues that fill the night sky just after sunset. Elements of drums and percussion break up the deeper spaces with polyrhythmic tracks that have become a trademark of Rownd's unique style.
