L.HUNT: “A Friend In Old Sol” – an exquisite sense of proper balance
The modern serious composer has a daunting challenge. How does his work get heard in a world of pop, hip-hop, and dance music? L.HUNT’s offerings go straight to the heart, not just the feet and hips. His creations seem to hearken from a time when people listened to the soft shades and voices that combine like fine food with delicate spices and sauces. There is no ‘hit song’ or ‘summer dance anthem’, in his composition vocabulary. The more one puts his music through its paces, the more the listener marvels that one individual has so many shiny polished gems to share. L.HUNT though, is not one self-centered do-it-all-by-yourself individual, instead he shares his creative and performing panorama with a wealth of talented people in the creation of his masterworks.
One such masterwork, is of course his epic “LifeWork Passage One – The Question”, a four-part rock opera about the human condition and madness. It contains a total of 28 tracks divided into five scenes. From this collection of songs, comes the latest single “A Friend In Old Sol”.
Lyricist L.HUNT, is joined by music composer Chris Davidson and Syd Greene on lead vocals. While the band includes Ori Shlez (Piano), Faliq Auri (Tin Whistle), Giovanni Perin (Vibraphone) and Andrey Golodukhin (Drums). “A Friend In Old Sol” is rich with the varying aural atmospheres that graces all of L.Hunt’s songs.
