Video: Mr. Miles from Postmodern Panache
Archive Track: The Shadow of Your Smile from WindWater Journal Entries
Radio Feature: Interview with David, broadcast on ECHOES, February 2008
The second WindWater album, Portraits & Landscapes, given its first public release 10 years after creation, captures the band at a peak of their creative teamwork. A blending of David Belmont’s guitar melodies and orchestrations (including the debut of the world dobro), Josh Neretin’s percussion grooves (both fiery live playing and composed loops), Michael Visceglia’s soulful bass lines, and a dash of cello work from Michelle Kinney. The record is a symphony in 3 movements, mixed with glistening aplomb and brilliant (dare I say, psychedelic) color by Charles Stella under the watchful, arranging eye of Daniel Wyatt. Recorded in the magical, large live room of Dubway Studios (thanks Al Houghton) in NYC. A spectacular follow up to the radio-friendly WindWater Excursions. It’s available on CD Baby. Enjoy!!!
DAVID BELMONT
David Belmont is a guitarist/composer/producer based in New York City. His work spans a broad range of genres from lush ambient soundscapes to jazz/rock-based world fusion to angular avant garde jazz. While focusing mainly on original instrumental compositions, David’s music has, at times, featured eclectic cover material; e.g., a New Age arrangement of the Rolling Stones classic Moonlight Mile (WindWater Excursions).
His 2007 release, Postmodern Panache, features the smooth jazz hit Mr. Miles, the New Age anthem Sedona and Germania, a track still in rotation on the Music Choice Soundscapes channel…as well as an aural dedication to George Harrison, the WWE’s world fusion version of the Beatles’ Blue Jay Way. It can be purchased here. Downloads are available from iTunes and other music websites.
