Guitarist Jonathan Barlow is inspired by the music he hears in everyday life. Instead of arranging his compositions for an orchestra, he uses sounds of household objects to fulfill the roles of traditional instruments and often alters the tone of his guitar by playing the instrument in combination with bobby pins, wine glasses, and even his daughter’s toys. Listeners may also notice the sounds of pages turning, hitting cushions, whistling, lap drumming, humming and striking the guitar. This music is ambient and melodic with classical undertones balanced by simple forms and inviting sonorities
Masterful Musicians was amazing!! Not only did they have great musicians for our ceremony (the guitar and viola combo was fantastic), but they also managed to put together a gypsy jazz duo for our cocktail party!! They provided a great sound that wasn't too stuffy and set the mood perfectly (classy and fun).
