The concept for Vertical Leap is to create an ongoing contemporary acoustic/electric musical experience. The goal is to integrate opposing musical styles to achieve a harmonic and universal expression of the timeless interplay between light and dark elements which ultimately reveal divine presence within the human spirit. The radio and film repertoire has garnered acclaim by numerous critics based on the resonance of the dynamic arrangements.
Vertical Leap formed in 2001, officially released Sanctuary in 2002 and scored the independent film The Promise in 2004. The artist finished a collection of new instrumental pieces in 2005 and is currently working on Sacred Promises, the much-anticipated second segment in the Songs of the Servant Trilogy, as well as licensing and scoring opportunities with film and television.
The eclectic rock, pop and jazz mixes, as well as the sensational film and TV music scores, retain a singular vision and inspiration that pervades from the heart and soul of studio artist/composer/producer George Mahn, III. His collaboration with well-known jazz bassist John Adams has further fueled praise among critics, industry and fans alike.
The versatile guitarist has always had a talent for crafting evocative new musical worlds. His original compositions, with their vigoroso progressions, transparent orchestrations and unforgettable melodies, explore a wide range of forms. Juxtaposing a love of fresh, innovative sonic palettes with traditional orchestra, he incorporates rock, pop, avant-garde jazz, world music, modern minimalism, ambient electronica and other elements to create a signature sound that is distinctively familiar, yet constantly evolving.
