A FACE IN THE CLOUDS

(Relaxation)
Marshall is another composer and performer who left behind a successful rock'n'roll career to further his interests in more classically-inspired music.
Rock'n'roll's loss is New Age's gain.
A Face in the Clouds is a wonderful collection of impressionistic memories that are not only relaxing to listen to, but are also filled with evocative musical images. Using digital keyboards, analog-based synthesizers, and piano, Marshall creates a wonderfully beautiful montage of striking, original compositions. I particularly enjoyed Morning Hyde Park with its musical waves of water-like sounds.
"I consider myself an impressionist, in the spirit of the French impressionist painters - Degas, Monet and Matisse. They worked with color and emotion and have a powerful elegance that I strive for in my music."
Indeed, Marshall has achieved just that.
Past albums have included Twilight Concertos; Jericho; Red River; Mockingbird; Bluefields; and Silent Night.
