Album Notes

Ayton & Atherton have been on a path to discovering the intricacies of sound and sonic synergy when you combine these two instruments into compositions with no boundaries.

Drawing on their influences from elements of Gypsy Jazz, Classical, and Celtic music, they blend these styles together to create an original sound that is all about setting a mood and taking the listener on a journey.

A very orchestral approach is taken during the composition process. Much like the two hands of a concert pianist, their parts are consciously woven together into tightly knit creations that range from richly textured and melancholy, to ridiculously happy and groovin\'.

While their songs reveal depth and musicianship, with many melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic twists along the way, they still remain accessible to the average listener.

REVIEWS

Sweet and Sour
author: Nicole Boar
Entertaining album. I enjoy the songs, different than the usual stuff one hears these days. But most of all, I wish to give CD Baby a super big 5 star rating for being an exceptional company to do business with. Always dependable and professional, they try hard and it shows. They have a great sense of humor and I always feel I get a comedy act free along with my cd. Thank you for making it so much fun buying CDs!
