Latest Article from Amarillo Globe News "All Grown Up Discipline Plays Key Role In Holder's Music" It may not show in his frequently untamed halo of frizzy blond hair. It doesn't really track with the usual image of a musician - late nights, random bursts of creative energy, big dreams unfettered by reality. But Luke Holder is a grown-up. A disciplined one, at that. And he likes it. Adulthood is in his habits, in his schedule, in his priorities. It's in his words, too. "We're all just doin' the best we can. The sorrow of the world was created by man. And I don't know how it caught on, I know where I stand. Don't you chase it too far," Holder sings in "Don't Chase It," a highlight of his last album, "This Was a Giant." Holder chased his dream to New York City twice, once as a single man, then again after marrying his wife. But he realized, to his surprise, that the Big Apple held nothing compared to Amarillo. "I feel like I produce what I want to produce here," he said during a recent conversation at O.H.M.S. Café & Bar, where he'll play Saturday night. "It's just kind of an instinctual thing. ... It works for me because I want to write songs, and I feel ... that I write my best here." And writing is what it's all about for Holder. "I'm not just (expletive deleted) around. I want to write great songs. It's not a hobby, it's a life-or-death thing. I guess that's why I was able to put aside my ego and live here," he said. "It's not about who hears it, though that's nice. It's about trying to write the best songs I can." To that end, Holder rearranged his whole life. He spends 90 minutes every weekday morning practicing and writing before heading off to his day job as an accountant. "That's when I'm using my best energy," Holder said, though he laughingly said he'd never been a morning person before. "It's really been hard to come to terms with the fact that the time I could practice was 6 in the morning," he said. "It's so not rock 'n' roll," he said, grinning. "Every musician I talk to thinks I'm crazy. But it's do-or-die for me, now, and I'm addicted to it." The early hours are a necessity with his 18-month-old son around, Holder said. "I don't have much time to allocate to this," he said of his songwriting sideline. "I'm really respectful of the time I have to take away from (his wife and son) to do this. But in the end, that has caused me to be a lot more productive. Right now, I have 60 songs for my next CD, and I want more. On my last three CDs, I just made them when I had enough songs." Though he's producing more than ever, Holder isn't ready to turn to music full time. "This, to me, is like a treat because I don't get to do it very much. I always said that's why I didn't go to music school. I didn't want to make it a job and snuff out what I love," he said. "It's a respect for the passion, maybe. "... If it were my job, that would be awesome, but I'd certainly have a different approach to it." Though the grown-up aspects of his life - his wife and son, particularly - have changed his songwriting, Holder said his biggest influences are still other singer/songwriters. "It's the study of other people's music, others who have - in my opinion - achieved greatness in songwriting," he said, citing Kevin Gilbert, Jeff Buckley and, lately, Conor Oberst, who records under the name "Bright Eyes." "He's my latest, greatest influence. ... ‘I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning' is one of the greatest albums I own. I think it'll go down in history, it's that good," ...
| | Felipe Salles South American Suite CD (2007)
Essential Ballads
$18.99
"Felipe Salles has truly taken a step into the future with this CD. He has found a way to incorporate the rich musical heritage of his native country, Brazil ( with more than a nod to the genius Hermeto Pascoal), while at the same time incorporating sounds and colors from the advanced harmonies of 20th century contemporary classical music. Possessing a gift for orchestration and arranging, Felipe's music is definitely pointing to the future."David LiebmanLiner notesBrazilian music has established itself as one of the richest mother lodes of inspiration for musicians from all over the world. It is sophisticated in its melodic, rhythmic, harmonic and lyrical aspects, and by now most people have become familiarized with some of the works of Jobim, Moacir Santos, Villa Lobos and other Brazilian composers. Many other musicians from all over the planet have incorporated Brazilian elements into their music, showing the influence of bossa nova or samba jazz in their work.This is not what Felipe Salles’ excellent new work is all about. As a Brazilian saxophonist and composer, he has gone deep inside the wellsprings of our culture, much deeper than most people have gone. He is not interested in showing that he knows the music well – no points to be proven here. He speaks the true language of Universal Music, reaching both inside the little known regional aspects of maracatu, frevo and choro as well as the outer reaches of contemporary harmonic and rhythmic languages. The record is totally Brazilian in its sound, but it achieves this by the natural use of native forms, employed in an intuitive way. ...
