LAS VEGAS, NV - October 24, 2006 - Barry Bowers, who plays a
six-string electric violin and specializes in Christian music, has
released a new album, "Think On These Things." The album has a very
soothing and contemplative character, and contains unique combinations
of various instruments as background accompaniment to Barry's electric
violin.
earBuzz.com says of Barry's album:
"Barry Bowers has assembled 10 instrumental violin pieces with various
accompaniment - from vibraphone to harpsichord, piano to strings - all
performed by Bowers on various synthesizers. The focus here is on
Bowers' violin playing - and to that end uses an electrified
instrument that can vary in tone to include the deep warm lines of a
viola to the bright and articulate violin.
"The titles of the tunes indicate an inspiration from his faith in
Jesus Christ. Track 2, 'Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus,' is a slow paced
and melodic journey that includes bell-like percussive chording and
the timbre of an English horn. Bowers includes more contemporary
pieces, but also gives respect to both classical masters, Bach and
Pachelbel. Track 3 is 'Jesu, Joy of Mans' Desiring,' while track 7 is
'Pachelbel Canon.' The latter begins with purposeful chording that
makes room for Bowers' violin on the top chord line - the melody - and
he accents his playing with moderate reverb during his inspired
performance. Track 4, 'You Are My Hiding Place,' is supported by
harpsichord and arpeggiating piano lines. Our favorite track is
Bowers' rendition of the classic melody in 'Greensleeves' - here his
melody approach fits well with the pace and breadth of the
composition. The CD is a testament to Bowers' faith and a fine
representation of what he's accomplished thus far in his music career.
We look forward to more."
Barry has a Master's Degree in Music from the University of Nevada,
Reno, and has played with symphony orchestras in Reno and Las Vegas,
and in orchestras accompanying many prominent entertainers. He is a
member of the worship team at Valley Bible Fellowship in Las Vegas,
and has appeared as a guest artist in many churches in the U.S. and
Brazil. Barry and his wife, Sonja, are the U.S. representatives for
Happy Child Mission, a Christian organization that ministers to street
children in Brazil. Barry's vision is to use his music as a vehicle to
bring awareness and support to these Brazilian children.
Barry's album, "Think On These Things," is available at CD Baby,
