简介：Marshall Styler is a composer and recording artist based in Austin, TX. He is considered one of the premiere New Age musicians specializing in instrumental keyboard music featuring melodic piano. Perhaps best-known for his Red River Trilogy of albums inspired by places around Texas, that collection introduced Styler’s uniquely melodic music to thousands of fans around the world, and paved the way for albums like Jericho, The Twilight Concertos, A Face in the Clouds, and his latest work, Seven Falls. From 1973 to 1986 Marshall Styler recorded and toured with the renowned Rochester, NY Rock band, Duke Jupiter. The band had seven albums to their credit on Mercury, Epic-CBS and Motown. In 1986 he decided to leave the rock-n-roll life and moved from his home in New York to Austin, Texas. Although he was the lead singer and songwriter for the band, he began to feel limited by lyrics and began composing instrumental pieces. In 1991, he released Camden Road, his first instrumental album. This was a compilation of live performances on synthesizers. "My music is not space or soundscape music. I compose instrumental pieces that have a definite structure based around melodies. There are no words to tie it all down so there is a certain dream-like quality inherent in my sound." "I consider myself an impressionist, in the spirit of the French impressionist painters - Degas, Monet and Matisse. They worked with color and emotion and have a powerful elegance that I strive for in my music."
