Debut CD "All That You Need" released in New Zealand Now available at: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/rushton (more previews available there) Compiled here is a selection of piano & guitar based melodic pieces set to the sounds of nature in an easy, flowing piano style that bridges the gap between Elton John and Richard Clayderman. A special thanks to Peter Forster (http://hem.passagen.se/peter1/ ) for supplying the ambient sounds used on these tracks, and a great thanks to Bob Melanson (http://www.mp3.com/melanhead) for his great guitar solo on "Shakuhachi". Read what listeners are saying: - "I love the melodies on this track, it's just beautiful" - "I like the tune...mellow and melodic" - "Good melody and mood. Great stuff! My wife walked through and commented that she liked it too!" - "I could listen to this around the house or just laying around and be melloooo. Keep up the good work!" - "...nicely written and orchestrated" - "...its a beautiful piece... I couldnt write that well" - "Just want to let you know I'm really enjoying your CD. It is wonderful. I am so glad you had it made, and hope you sell zillions!" - "I have your CD on again - it is truly beautiful.. I will tell my friends" "Moody and sombre, it is interesting that the tracks crafted on this debut album reflect a haunting bleakness such as that seen in the many faces of New Zealand's west coast. In fact, this recording in many ways is a reply to the effort Michael Nyman gave to provide a richness to the soundtrack he wrote for The Piano - which incidentally was set at a site close to where the album's cover photo was taken. From the darkness of Out at Sea to the driving Antarctic Winds these works express a knowingness about the different shades of life. The influence of Elton John, and in particular his earlier more serious work, is apparent in this artists style. Movie and television producers should look seriously at Ian Rushton as a writer of scores for their more serious productions."
