Editorial Reviews
Album Description
NEW YORK CITY DWELLER, SCOTT FERRARO, IS A MUSICIAN AND ARTIST, WHO MAKES UNIQUELY ORIGINAL MUSIC, GROUNDED IN MELODY, IMPROVISATION AND A CONSTANT UNDERCURRENT OF SUBTLE RHYTHMIC MOTION.

HE IS A STUDENT OF LATE SIXTIES AMERICAN JAZZ, COUNTRY-BLUES, ELECTRONICA, WEST AFRICAN GUITAR, INDIAN CLASSICAL AND AMERICAN PSYCHEDELIC AND AVANT-GARDE MUSIC OF ALL PERIODS. IT IS, HOWEVER, THE EXPERIENCES OF EVERY DAY LIFE THAT SERVE AS THE INSPIRATION FOR THE SPONTANEOUS AND MOODY SOUNDS HE CREATES.

THE MUSIC ON THIS DEBUT RELEASE IS A DEEPLY PERSONAL EXPRESSION OF MOODS FROM SIXTEEN DIFFERENT DAYS, CAPTURED IN THE FALL OF 2001 AND SPRING OF 2002. ALL BUT ONE TRACK ARE ACOUSTIC GUITAR. ALL THE MUSIC, INCLUDING THE ELECTRONIC PIECE, WAS IMPROVISED, UNREHEARSED AND NOT INTENDED FOR PUBLIC RELEASE AT THE TIME IT WAS CREATED. THE EFFECT OF THIS, IS TO BRING YOU INTO HIS ENVIRONMENT DURING THOSE MOMENTS IN TIME. THE REAL STRENGTH OF THIS RECORDING IS THAT IT WORKS EQUALLY WELL AS A HEADPHONES MEDITATION EXPERIENCE OR A LATE NIGHT LOUNGE SESSION, WITH A FRIEND OR ALONE.

5 out of 5 stars Unpretentious, Unfiltered Debut Album!.......2002-09-10

I find this CD exceptional and unpretentious. Overall, I like every track contained therein, but I must admit that tracks 003 and 016 (1630 and We Are Watching the Sky, respectively)always set me in a nostagic mood. The CD is pure and simple, and if listened to in an undistracting environment, subtle nuances and temporic changes can be very rewarding. I highly recommend this CD. Money well-spent!!!!!

5 out of 5 stars I listen to this cd everyday.......2002-09-04

To put it simply, the music created by this artist is fantastic and I highly recommend it. Its a must have. Very cool web site also with lots more unreleased music and cool photos.

4 out of 5 stars creating my dream in NYC.......2002-09-03

Not since the playing of Nick Drake have I heard such a transcendence from the norm on the guitar. This music takes me to the sage covered mountains where Earnest Hemingway still wanders. Listen and you will agree.

5 out of 5 stars un-filtered.......2002-09-01

open all your senses
and you will understand.

if ever there was music
that was made to satisify
all your emotional, physical,
spiritual, intellectual and sensual
outlets, it is this.

tune in
and
experience

5 out of 5 stars A Mr. Burns excellent.......2002-08-29

It is not enough to say excellent. one must curl up the forefingers of either hand like Mr. Burns(assuming you have two, else make believe) and touch them together before mouthing the words.

If you want to survive a tough day, you must live the day one breath in, one breath out at a time. That is what this album is, except that each breath is particularly melliflous. Track 4 is Indian Raga based and reminds one of Indian women with well toned bodies with Shiva looking on approvingly.

The world is turning round and round and this makes one conscious of the same. If this review is not dealing with the album at a musical level, it is bercause my knowledge of the same is not very technical and i might end up sounding like Julie Andrews.

There is one extended electronic track which starts off and sustains a very very nice beat with melodies all over your ears, and this track made me feel that I could have cleaned my apartment forever. Any unpleasant chore made instantly hummable seems to be a good tagline for this mix of abstract compositions.

Feel what you want to. No loud riffs to intrude on your expression. A definite buy. And also worth recommending to your friends. I plan to, so that I might get invited to social gatherings again
