MELODIES ON CANVAS.

UNDERSEA AND OTHER STORIES is an exciting new concert and compact disc production created and conceived by instrumental duo MELODIES ON CANVAS featuring John Horrocks & William Harrington. This new concert/cd features several new compositions in the new-age/musique actuelle/contemporary instrumental style.

The duo's newest work further illustrates their mastery of the classical, 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, electric guitar and mandolin as well as their innovative use of original samples, analogue and digital synthesizers, and modern signal processing as they continue on their quest to extend the scope of modern instrumental music. The duo's music is founded on an improvisational base where rhythm, harmony, and melody are interwoven to create unique sound paintings. The originality of their music lies in its ability to encompass divergent musical styles and textures. MELODIES ON CANVAS continually integrates themes of foreign cultures into their work creating compositions that are cross-cultural and highly emotive This is instrumental music that is alive and inspiring, exciting and demanding, brought to the concert stage by MELODIES ON CANVAS at an impressively high performance level.

The MELODIES ON CANVAS show has been presented accross Canada continually impressing audiences of all ages and critics alike with their high standards of musicianship and their unique compositions. They have recently participated in such prestigious events as the 350th anniversary of Montréal, the Cultures Canada series, and Théatre du Cuivre, as well as concerts in many other established theatres and maisons de culture ."The evening lived far beyond our expectations and without the aid of any chemicals gave us a "mind trip" we'll remember...Both are top-notch musicians who play their instruments with deep feeling as well as technical excellence." The Townships Sun .
"...musicians of considerable talent and skill the first song, entitled Dolphin Dance, was a haunting piece that demonstrated the duo's exceptional talent on guitar." THE QUEEN'S JOURNAL
