Axuality, Volume 1

Brian Butler's Axuality Volume 1 features improvised and mainstream sounding 'clean' rock guitar which gets much of its uniqueness from the fact that it is being created on the spot. As industry professionals have noted, "The unique style of Brian's playing is characterized by tone-and-time-modulation which in its character is reminiscent of the human voice. The phrasing and musical inflection used by Brian during improvisation is in many ways similar to that used by human beings during spontaneous speech. While listening to Brian's music one gets an impression of floating away, and the lack of lyrical content only supports this feeling as the music is not ridden by human chatter, while still having the familiar qualities of the human voice delivered by the guitar solos. The improvisational nature of the music keeps the listener constantly wondering about what is coming next, rather
than bored by repetitive patterns that are so prevalent in the mainstream music. In conclusion, it is a very fresh way of performing
and songwriting, and the compositions have an organic character as they are literally being "grown" on the spot by the artist."
