That's all he's got on iTunes. It's very nicely written for the orchestra, and he gets a lot of mileage out of one chord. And none of that sweet Americana stuff.<BR/><BR/>Olly is unpretentious and not into the self-promotion thing. A kindred spirit.<BR/><BR/>I have heard some of his chamber music and vocal chamber music, and it's got a pretty wide range stylistically and gesturally -- I would call it Uptown meets Duke Ellington, even though that's very imprecise. I get Art Tatum in his piano licks, Ionisation in his percusion licks, and lots of jazz chords in odd inversions. And it bristles with pretty cool explosions.<BR/><BR/>I've also seen him conduct his own music, so add that to the list of what Olly does.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3371351138596055444.post-41594771031290154492008-08-02T01:41:00.000-07:002008-08-02T01:41:00.000-07:00Cool.
