Post Description
Born in Hollywood, CA in 1961, Davol moved to Colorado when he was seven. With primarily classical piano training, he developed an interest in electronic music as a teenager. High school and college years exposed him to jazz and classical harpsichord. His first compositions became the collection of pieces on the Mystic Waters album in 1989. This seminal work made it to #15 on the Billboard New Age Chart, and remained on the charts for 25 weeks. The music from his albums has been used worldwide in TV, radio, video and multimedia productions.
Interestingly, Davol's career was originally in Microbiology, not music. He obtained his Ph.D. in 1989, and worked as a medical researcher until 1996 when he started a commercial venture, producing music for multimedia. This experience allowed him to write music in very diverse styles, and work with other instrumentalists.
Inspiration for Davol's compositions come from life events or activities, such as running, one of his favorite pastimes. "The Last Mile" is a perfect example of this. His other life obsession is the French language, which he speaks fluently and has studied in France. You will agree it's the best yet -- that is, the third release from Colorado keyboard-wizard Davol, who is reminiscent of Arkenstone, Yanni and Burmer in compositional styles and his use of imaginative sounds. Davol's original flair and style show influences ranging from Debussy and Jarre to Vollenweider and Tangerine Dream, yet remain distinctly his own. By introducing percussive elements and often full orchestration as bookends for his melodic compositions, Davol uses nuances and details that lend a greater depth of expression in his music. Particularly effective are the introductory passages for many of the tracks, such as "Gates of Ishtar," "Caravan," and the wistful "Farthest Shore." Davol is a true contender these days, and his electronic weavings continue to establish him as a major voice in contemporary music. ~ Backroads Music/Heartbeats Recording information: AfterOurs Midi Studio, Denver, CO.
