Post Description

Poignant, passionate, soul moving, otherworldly. The music of Adam Hurst has been used in independent feature films, documentaries, and art films, and live choreographed ballet among others. He has performed his original music throughout the world. 
Mr. Hurst has released four CDs of original music. They have sold thousands of copies. His most recent CD, called "Ruin" is evocative music for cello & piano. "Dwelling" is a collection of thirteen "poems" for cello and guitar. Music from his second album called "Illusions" was used for an original dance piece. In 2007, Oregon Ballet Theatre's James Canfield choreographed a 20min ballet to a Hurst original composition which Hurst performed live at the premiere to a sold out crowd. 
REVIEWS:
"Though Adam Hurst's primary instrument is cello, his third and fourth releases show him to be an equally adept guitarist and pianist. On Dwelling and Ruin respectively, Hurst also proves himself to be a deft multi-tracker who records guitar and piano as base instruments over which his sinuous cello playing resounds. The two recordings are structurally similar with Hurst's preferred mode short, three- to four-minute classical settings of largely ruminative, sometimes ethereal character with all of the music composed by Hurst. He's no avant-garde provocateur hell-bent on extending the cello's sonic limits but instead an artist intent on bringing music of soul and romance into being.

"On Dwelling's thirteen cello-and-guitar "poems," Hurst alternates pieces pairing cello and acoustic guitar with others featuring multi-tracked guitars only. The prevailing mood is reflective and ruminative, though subtle contrasts emerge from one song to the next. "The Beyond" might be described as a dramatic Spanish guitar drone, while a faint country feel infuses the folk meditation "A Moment," and a faint hint of Ry Cooder even seems to emerge too. The cello's singing tone comes to the fore in "Dwelling" whereas "In-Between" highlights the melismatic character of the instrument's cry.

"The newer release Ruin follows Dwelling's lead with the obvious exception of the change in instrumentation. Again a melancholy spirit prevails (titles alone like "Alone" and "Face in the Rain" suggest as much, while "Death Waltz" is naturally somber) and Hurst largely opts for slow tempos throughout. The cello-piano combination is not only more contrasting than cello-guitar but the piano's cascades and arpeggios offer a richer and often lilting backdrop to the cello. Needless to say, Hurst 's cello playing on both recordings is beautiful-inflamed with emotion and passion but not overwrought (the cello melodies in "Exit" even exude a Byzantine quality that calls to mind John Tavener). Similarly, despite being melancholic in temperament, his elegant compositions are pretty but not saccharine."-Textura.

 TER INFO
- De huidige LOSSLESS muziek die gepost wordt, is gecheckt tenzij anders vermeld! U vindt een tekstdocument erbij met de resultaten. Bent u niet tevreden over die resultaten, dan zit er een delete knop op uw toetsenbord om de muziek weer te verwijderen. 
- Alle muziek die ik spot komt ergens anders van internet vandaan. Vragen naar een andere bitrate heeft geen zin, anders had ik die al gespot. Wel blijf ik naar de beste kwaliteit zoeken. 
- Nog te spotten muziek gaat voor de al reeds geplaatste muziek. Met een betaalserver kunnen u oude spots nog downloaden. Ik blijf niet onnodig dezelfde muziek spotten, dit kost ook teveel tijd. 
- Bevalt mijn muziek niet (ik spot met name New Age- achtige muziek), sla mijn spots over.
- Bevalt mijn muziek wel: voeg mij toe aan uw witte lijst of sla mijn naam “morris” op als zoekopdracht. U creëert hiermee een tag waarmee u in 1x al mijn spots te zien krijgt. 
- Gebruik de zoekfunctie eerst voordat u een verzoek doet. Blijf niet onnodig dezelfde verzoekjes maken. Als de muziek er niet binnen 1 maand op staat, dan is het simpel weg niet te vinden op dat moment. Vanaf nu heb ik minder tijd om te zoeken naar verzoekjes, een resultaat zal langer op zich laten wachten.
- Vragen naar bedankjes doe ik niet, immers echte dankbare mensen doen dit al vanuit zichzelf. 
 Enjoy the feeling
