by Holland Phillips —
Phillips, an excellent electronic keyboardist, creates a pop, New Age instrumental sound with touches of classical and jazz.
He is also a synthesizer wizard, and collects old models made from 1970 through 1990 because of their different sounds.
On this fourth album, he uses the synthesizers to not only make synth sounds, but also those of piano, violin, a string section, chimes, bass, drums, oboe, bassoon, sax, percussion, electric piano, French horns, trombones, B3 organ, harpsichord, chimes, flute, percussion and more.
