About Me

www.SilverAtlas.com
Silver Atlas explores several genres and moods simultaneously. Low key downtempo soul, beat infested trip-hop , and up tempo house grooves all add to the allure of this amazing album. So where does our Silver Atlas take us this time? Destination: Layover! A more organic feel, using live drums and percussion to produce a hybrid groove of electronic and human beats. While the core creative direction is managed by founders Alan Ruffin and Jason Lichon, the addition of players Rex Espinosa and John Mastro has added instrumental virtuosity to the band's bag of tricks.
Silver AtlasPresents Layover
This is music for life's journey. A soundtrack for serendipitous detours and other twists of fate. The random glance at Heathrow, which is followed by a red eye flight to Copenhagen or a midnight tryst in Hong Kong. The layover is where you catch your breath before the final departure into the adrenalin rush of the unknown. A point at which you may not be sure if you are moving toward something. Or away from something. As one story ends, a new one unfolds. Lay. Over.
