Chris Pusey composer/multi instrumentalist A Virtuoso Guitarist from the UK who studied under Segovia . The Northern Lights are seen in the Artic Circles' winter period of eternal darkness. An eerie silence and a technicoloured light display in the sky above, so bright at times it creates it's own kind of 'daylight'. Auroras are in fact an aluminous electrical atmosphere phenomenon viewed at both the South and North Poles. You have to be in Antartica to see the Aroura Austrais so it is less known but the Aurora Boroais over the North Pole is well known and commonly called "The Northern Lights". Chris Adams lives in Scotland, under The Northern Lights, and he is also a phenomenon of the music world with emotion packed guitar playing and composing. Chris uses a mix of electric and acoustic guitars to add subtle shades and feelings to his music and has a wide following all around the World already. Chris also plays the keyboards on his impressive Albums. Chris kicked off his solo efforts in 1999, embarking upon an instrumental rock career. But by 2002, he had joined forces with John and Geoff Whitbread, described by Chris as “two brothers with phenomenal talent.” John’s vocal technique and Geoff’s drumming skills meshed marvelously with Chris’ guitar playing. These musicians, perfectly in sync with each other, found themselves moving in a more traditional “song-based” direction. “I still write both instrumental and vocal pieces,” says Chris. His solo career is still going strong; he has three singers and a number of instrumentalists at his disposal for recording and for live shows. The music continues to be guitar-based with a focus on guitar virtuosity. Chris has played the Main Stage at three H3 Festivals in Britain, played guitar for a Honda Advertisement and recorded the soundtracks for two full length movies. He has also self-released close to a dozen Albums which he sold at his Concerts and through his MySpace Page and sozocd.com Web Site. The first non-New Zealand resident artist to be signed by Tree Records, this Album is his first new Album under Tree Records who re-issued his last two Albums both here at CD Baby and on iTunes in July, 2008. You can keep up with Chris' career on his unique page at Tree Records website which is the Official Website link on this page. You can also join his Newsletter List as well from that page. Some reviews 01 Martin Pleau said on 17/06/02 Chris Pusey is the ULTIMATE greatest guitarist of all time : in his songs, like Bohoo or Out of the Silence, he blends powerful emotions through the sound of the guitar : emptiness, loneliness, pain, joy, peace, power. The electric really haunts on some tracks. This is SO powerful. Review from CrossRhythms issue 74 Variations on a Theme There can be no denying that Chris Pusey is a phenomenal guitarist. His breathtaking fret board acrobatics have led many to compare him to the legendary Phil Keaggy. So, what of Chris's latest offerering? Pusey guides us through ten tracks, venturing across a broad spectrum of soundscapes. From the funky opener " The Battle is in the Mind" and the cool jazz of "The Call" to the solid rock guitar of "Ascending", Chris upholds his reputation as an instrumental virtuoso. Make sure you check out the inspired "Etude2 On a Theme of Paganini" with its latin-tinged beat, not to be confused with Franz Liszt's composition of a similar name. My personal favorite is the altogether more chilled "Angels" with its serene synths and Chris's epic guitar solo. Once again, Chris has delivered a fine instrumental album. But there will always be those who prefer the more conventional " Praise Him on the Noseflute" or something.... Aleem Hossain Eric (Rating: 10) "With the obvious influence of some of my guitar heros ... Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Van Halen (just a touch) Chris puts them all in a kettle and boils them 'til they scream for more of what Chris can offer. Keep playin' for Christ, man ... and let us know when you'll be coming through the U.S. so we can drive hundreds of miles to catch a show if we have to!!" Marius (Rating: 10) "Superb." Paul (Rating: 10) "'OUT OF THE SILENCE' is another masterpiece writen , performed , and produced by the most talented Mr. Chris Pusey . This man is an inspiration to us ! It would be rare to find Instumental Melodic Rock of this quality anywhere else ! Please keep these exquisite harmonies coming Chris !
