Bio
.. .. ..MyGen.. ..Profile Generator.. ...... ....DEBUT ALBUM NOW AVAILABLE, ORDER ALL IN GOOD TIME FROM ALL MAJOR ONLINE STORES! SIMPLY CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW TO GET YOUR COPY!.. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. Will and Adam met at uni, and after jamming together quickly realised the potential their unique styles created when combined. .. .. Adam Westcott has always been immersed in the music of Nirvana, Jeff Buckley and Muse, but it was his time in Spain that really opened his eyes to the potential of the acoustic guitar. The astounding techniques of the Spanish old-boys in the local cafes - twirling their fingers up and down the neck of the guitar with great ferocity and flair - completely changed Adams approach to music forever. .. .. Will Rodway grew up on an eclectic diet of 'old-skool' hip-hop, jazz and rock music, continuously swaying from one genre to the other. A pianist since 11, it was one album which put everything into perspective, demonstrating to Will the potential of the piano; Keith Jarrett's The Koln Concert. .. .. Together the boys use their two instruments as though they have a whole band at their finger tips, turning two melodic and harmonic instruments into vehicles for percussion and bass. Their debut album, All In Good Time, is the perfect document of their musical explorations, displaying their fine technique and skill in composition. .. .. Listening to Westcott and Rodway is a very personal experience; highly visual, highly evocative, and in its own way, highly controversial. A musical event that echoes the past yet resonates in the modern, like true music should. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .................. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..Overcome...... .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. | ..

Sounds Like
Hovering sparse strings elevated above the pouring ivories, reflect rhythmically off the syncopated flow of harmonic eloquence. An audible dance is created, morphing from the mountainous to the miniscule, neither mattering most. .. .. Sustained; a stretched natural de-crescendo concludes in silence. .. .. Finale? Twitching lobes, eager for more, strain to induce further playing, signs of salacious approval - its originality appealing to the acutely audacious in the audience. .. .. A pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the floor of a silent sea, grasps at the rising plucked bass. 9th's, 7th's, 11th's, all propping-up the potential tonic plinth, purely heighten ones expectations. Rising, gaining velocity, the peaked summit of their path one vertical leap away, minor, minor... .. .. MAJOR! .. .. The audible affects the physical; eyes wide, torso's leant forward, conversations cease. Instrumentation creating literary verses, the visual translated into music. .. ..
