Product Description
About the Artist
When Paul Avgerinos graduated from the Peabody Conservatory of Music in 1980, as a full scholarship honors student, he had already performed as a bassist with Isaac Stern, Jean Pierre Rampal, The Beaux Arts Trio, Baryshnikov and many other great classical artists. He also has won scholarships to play and study at music festivals in Tanglewood, Aspen, Grand Teton, Taos, and Spoleto (Italy). After graduation, Paul served as principal bass of several major symphony orchestras around the world, and gave solo recitals as well.
Expanding into more popular genres, Avgerinos toured as a bassist with Charles Aznavour, Liza Minelli, and the jazz legend Buddy Rich. Seeking to further his original composition and develop his childhood passion for electronic music, Paul built Studio Unicorn, a comprehensive digital/analog recording studio, in 1984. Eight solo CDs in the new age genre followed, including "Maya; The Great Katun" on the World Room label and "Muse of the Round Sky" on the Hearts of Space label. "Muse" was nominated for a Grammy and is played on more than 2,000 radio stations around the world in addition to, syndicated shows such as Music from the Hearts of Space and John Diliberto's Echoes. Two thirtyminute features with the latter are added to his credits along with his many other radio interviews. He has appeared on five sampler CDs and as a guest artist on albums by Joanie Madden, Faruk Tekbilek, Joaquin Lievano, Brian Keane and others. Paul records and produces many popular albums as well and has worked with artists as diverse as "Run DMC," "Richie Havens," and "Jewel." Avgerinos always makes time for scoring and has worked on over fifty film, TV, and cable projects for HBO, PBS, and Lifetime, among others. Keeping busy creating original music for a variety of interesting and rewarding projects is a way of life.
Currently, he lives and works in Redding, Connecticut, where the deer pass by his studio windows and the hawks and eagles give inspiration from above.

Wonderfully Sublime Soundscapes
Dec 1 2008
Format:Audio CD
As a musician, it's difficult for me to find music that doesn't make me want to analyze and think of chord progressions, or basically turn listening to music into a headache. I like ambient music for that reason, that it is music that is a background to my activities allowing me to use my minimal amount of brain power for other things! Hahaha! Anyhow, I bought this after hearing the clips and I have to say, it is one of the most amazing 'ambient' releases that I've ever heard. I use that term loosely, in that it is a bit more heady than the typical ambient drones or washes that sound like breath with a pitch. Words Touch is more like Brian Eno's 'Music For Airports', or any kind of really intelligent ambient. I get swept away by this, and every song is much different from one another and well produced, and performed. My favorite track is 'Weightless You Are'. It has a great chord progression (very intelligently written), and the song is split into 2 parts, each one just great. This is my favorite ambient release, probably because it was written by an esteemed musician with an ear for capturing perfect melodies and harmonies. All that said, 'Words Touch' is the holy grail for getting my son to take a nap and our family listens to it when we go to sleep at night. I try to fight zonking out to hear as much as possible, but it is just so relaxing........
Thanks, Paul!!!
