Henri Valentine Paradise Highway CD

The music of David\'s Pegasus sounds like the animation looks: colorful, bright, and catchy. To match the video game theme, songs are arranged using real samples and synth instruments from classic game and computer systems including the Commodore64 and NES. To this structure, live musicians perform with organic instruments and percussion, adding the essential human element. There is a sense of harmony between man and machine, player and computer, video and audio. While David\'s Pegasus is not technically a virtual band (the titular cartoon characters do not play music together), the animated feature is a substantial part of the group\'s performance. This approach is partly in tribute to the music and films of the silent era when audiences enjoyed live accompaniment to the on-screen action. David\'s Pegasus creator, Barry Brinegar describes the project as a \"movie with a band\" although the inverse could be argued, depending upon one\'s preference toward audio or video.

Who?The animation, characters, songs, and storyline were the creations of Barry Brinegar, who also performs/records guitar and vocals in the band. Project manager Bryan Brandon has played piano with the project since its first performance. He also manages his family\'s bakery, Ozark Natural Breads. Stuart Field and Paul Wolf joined the group in 2008, further developing the sound of the project. Stuart had been familiar with David\'s Pegasus since the bands earliest performances, occasionally sitting in with the band, and recording a series of demo songs which he intends release as a recorded narrative similar to Harry Nilsson\'s The Point. Besides playing drums with David\'s Pegasus, Stuart Field also keeps busy as the station manager at the University of Arkansas\' student-run radio station, KXUA 88.
