There
were a couple of instrumental albums that arrived last year from
independent artists Mark Barnwell and Strat Andriotis. Both musicians
have been climbing up the independent artist ladder with their latest
releases. First up is Flamenco guitarist Mark Barnwell and his new album
"Mandala." It features 10-tracks that capture the timeless tradition of
World and Flamenco guitar. With the help of a dozen other artists,
Barnwell showcases his talents on the Latin-flair of the album's opening
track "Tierra del Fuego." He delivers the sweet shuffle of "Surco
Latino," before displaying his heartfelt tones on the emotions of "Moonstone." The
short, 2-minute "Sundance" is a beautiful piece of Flamenco guitar,
while "Moroccan Skies" captures the essence and passion of Barnwell's
songwriting as the musicians deliver a stunning piece of music. The
album finishes with the epic journey of the seven-minute "Sahara" and
the relaxed, gentle flow of "Mandala." To find out more about Mark
Barnwell and his latest release "Mandala," please visit markbarnwell.com.
Next up
is the latest album from guitarist Strat Andriotis titled "Less Off
Patient." It features Andriotis on guitar, Jeff Vidov on piano and
Andrianna Lee on violin. The new release features 11-tracks, beginning
with the Gypsy Jazz guitar build-up of the title-song, "Less Off
Patient." Lee's violin works beautiful alongside Andriotis' guitar on the up-and-down flow of "There's Always Tomorrow."
The trio deliver a neo-classical sound on "A Behavior Pattern," while
"The Diming Light" has the perfect melody of Lee's violin alongside Vidov's beautiful piano. The
album continues with the quick pace of Andriotis' guitar work on "Where
It Goes," before the emotions come pouring out of "Duet" and "Somewhere
In Time My Love." To find out more about Strat Andriotis and his latest
release "Less Off Patient," please visit stratmusic.net.
