NOUVEAU PHILHARMONIC

About Me

DEFINITION: NOUVEAU: MEANING- NEW********************** DEFINITION: PHILHARMONIC: MEANING-LOVE OF HARMONY News: Rain, then Sun makes ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------**************************************** **************About Rod: Rodney Van Derheydt :Solo artist, Composer, Recording Engineer/Producer & Multi- Instrumentalist. ************************************************ Maverick composer Rod Van Derheydt creates exciting instrumentals by blending Old School Rock with other genres including Classical, Metal, Blues, and Jazz. The songs vary in style and instruments but share a common denominator of rock solid guitar rhythms and melodies. One unique aspect to these instrumentals is that they are not centered around virtuoso solos. The songs appeal comes from the strength of the composition and rarely features any solos. The genre blending has a unifying effect on today's highly fragmented audience. It tends to bring people out of their "listening comfort zone" and allows them to broaden their perspective of music. I once saw an interview of the late, great Leonard Bernstein and when asked to comment about the ever expanding music genres he replied " There are only two kinds of music, good and bad." That statement had a profound effect on the way I write music today. So take a little time to listen to Nouveau Philharmonic and you just might change your perspective! ************************************************************ **** "Rain, then Sun"
