Dave Brons: Star 

Star was written after Dave Brons heard his 3 year old son sing his own version of the melody for "Twinkle Twinkle little star" as he was putting him to bed. As soon as Brons heard him singing the idea for the song came to him. He quickly recorded his son on his iPhone and rushed out to his studio and started recording and arranging the parts. He worked through the night and finished the arrangement just as the sun was coming up the next morning.

The song features Keyboard player Mark Swift. The middle of the song features a beautiful piano solo of his that Dave managed to graft into the song structure. Brons said this about it; "It is very reminiscent of Einaudi and just transports me to a happy place every time i hear it" John Biglands provides all the grooves across a variety of odd time signatures that weave seamlessly in and out of 5/4 and 6/4 time.

When describing the outro solo, Dave states "Right at the end of the song the epic guitar solo really captures the joy that I felt as I was finishing the arrangement while watching the sun rise through my home studio window."

Here is Dave Brons' Bio taken from his website at DaveBrons.com

What would you get if you crossed guitarist Eddie Van Halen with composer John Williams?
Rarely does does guitar fuelled instrumental rock music succeed in appealing to both musicians and non muscians alike.

Dave Brons set out to create music that would marry the expressive potential of rock guitar with the epic sound of orchestral film music: “To the average music listener, most instrumental guitar music sounds like morse code over a backing track, a mere showcase for the guitar players technical ability”. Brons states, “I want my music to move the listener emotionally and transport them to the movie in their minds eye!”

It seems like Brons is on track with this aim. Dave Bainbridge, (of celtic prog band www.IONA.uk.com), lauded by the music press for his stunning compositions and virtuosic guitar playing said this about the first single “Star”.

Dave Brons is an exceptional guitarist, with a particular ability to conjure a superb, spine tingling, lyrical tone from his guitar. His impressive technical facility never overshadows his innate melodic sensibility and musicality. ‘Star’ demonstrates Dave’s vision to integrate cinematic orchestral textures with soaring guitar leads, which combine to touch the heart.

Brons’ music is also gaining fans from other luminaries in the Progressive Rock arena. Paul Bielatowicz (Carl Palmer, Neal Morse and Guitar Magazine columnist, www.PaulBielatowicz.com) was so impressed with Brons’ compositions that he agreed to contribute a solo to one of tracks. “Dave combines technique, feel, melody and carefully crafted compositions, making his music something that clearly stands out from the crowd. His love and passion for his instrument clearly shines through his playing.” High praise indeed, from one of the worlds most accomplished guitarists.

Brons was given his first guitar in 1991 by a youth worker. This act of kindness has created a legacy: Brons regularly teaches underprivileged young people in prisons and education charities, “I’ve seen that playing an instrument can help people turn their lives around. Seeing people’s joy as they realise they can play is a great motivation for me.”

Brons is no stranger to hard times himself. Growing up, Money was tight in the Brons household so Dave got a Saturday job, which earned him just enough to pay for his guitar lesson each week. Brons’ guitar obsession was born, often practising 3 or 4 hours a night and 10 hours a day on the weekend. His Dad, himself a classical musician remarked, “the guitar was surgically attached, he even used to play his guitar in bed late at night with the lights out even after we’d told him to give it a rest and go to bed!”

After graduating from the London Guitar Institute in 1999, Dave soon found his technical guitar skills in demand and started teaching privately guitar in the UK and giving masterclasses as far away as Singapore.

Dave has also produced albums for artists from around the UK. After years of working on other people’s music he now he is concentrating his efforts into his own compositions.

Dave will be releasing a single a month starting in Dec 2013. "Star" is the first single.
