John Rose #1

Djelem - Pole

This track is from the album cosmogenesis and is available for purchase on CD Baby here: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/jrose. It was recorded from a live performance using various Analog and digital synths processed and played all in real time with no edits.

Cosmogenesis

This is a long piano and synth soundscape great for background, meditation, or relaxing listening. It is a long track, from my piano album Conversing With a Rainy Night.

Conversing With A Rainy Night

Bluebird (For Josephine)

This is an upbeat instrumental soundtrack.

Triumph

This is one of my first compositions. It was recorded on piano sometime in 1976 or 77. It is very historic for me as it is among the first pieces I composed.

Penny Farthing - thoughtful cinematic piano score with percussion

Another track I originally composed for the fantastic artist Gavin O'Donnell's drawing "Azura" that I have re-mastered and edited. 

It's a long track, but it's split into 3 unique sections that tie together. The thought process was to follow the growth and emotions of the woman in the drawing. 

Find the original drawing video here on Gavin's YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M88K0m8eYLE

Azura (re-mastered & edited)

In Droplets Of Ice

Across the recordings I've used different mic placements and combinations to try and aid what I had to say.. The mixes up on SC are where ever I feel settled.. to share, So it's always interesting to read your comments, thanks :)

Headphones are always a nice way to listen.. 
Hope you enjoy.

John Rose is a composer working out of Lexington, Kentucky. John has worked for many years doing live radio, outdoor festivals, art openings and planetarium performances. John has been a pioneer of electronic music in Kentucky since the 1970s. He continues to work on solo recordings, and is a sound tech and stage hand. He recently started recording and producing music for other people. John also loves to teach wilderness survival and awareness and has been doing so at camps and workshops around Kentucky and Tennessee.

John Rose’s music is created primarily from his own experiences, what he calls “life’s soundtracks”. He utilizes elements from his diverse musical background, which includes early music (especially the Medieval and pre-Renaissance era), Baroque (owing to his direct musical lineage to J.S. Bach through oral teaching tradition), Middle Eastern Music, Gregorian chant, traditional Celtic and Appalachian music, and experimental electronic music.

Music and musicians who are of interest to John Rose are J.S. Bach, Arvo Part, Tangerine Dream, Dead Can Dance, Gregorian chant, Cantigas de Santa Maria, Alan Stivell, Morton Subotonic, John Jacob Niles, Debussy, and Chopin. He considers Nature and Silence to be the foundation of all music.

John’s music is timeless and pensive, interwoven with images of nature, expressive rhythms, deep space pulses, and industrial ambience. Other compositions contain intricate piano passages dancing across waves of geometric ostinatos.

“Music is structured in silence and has its foundations in the rhythm of nature, out of which springs the language of humanity and reflections of the energy of life. I wish to express this to the listener through my music.”
