Album Notes

Moody, expansive, electronic, techno, trance,
world music, violin loneliness, and love songs.

"Violinist Chris Murphy has been honing his diverse instrumental composition skills for over fifteen years, and his experience certainly plays into the success of Salton Songs".-Brad Miller, Urb.net

"What keeps the listener's attention throughout is Mr. Murphy's magic violin. I say "magic" because of the number of different and crazy sounds that are emitted from that thing..."-Jambase

"...the most talented violin player you've never heard of... There aren't many, if any, other violinists out there who do what Chris does, and he does it well. This man is a very accomplished musician, and it clearly shows."
-Sam Katz, Jambase

"...unhindered imagination...adventurous style..."-Jamie Lee, Jambands Online

"Salton Songs sure is one of the more interesting, albeit unusual, albums to have come my way recently. Those who like their music lively and enjoy aspects of world music coupled with modern treatments might want to give it a try."
-Dene Bebbington, Wind and Wire, Melliflua


"This album from eclectic violinist Chris Murphy takes the violin out of its traditional classical and English folk music settings and tries it in less familiar contexts...this is worth checking out."-Mike Watson, Ambient Music Guide
