The Buzz on Guitar Noir:
"...been checking out your disc and really liking it a lot...The playing is awesome...it raises the bar for everyone, ya know?????.....Anyway, are you available for session work????..." Neil Dorfsman (Grammy winning Producer/Engineer-Sting, Paul McCartney, DireStraits)
"Hey Ray - You're rockin' better than ever" Elliott Randell (guitar-Steely Dan)
Guitar Noir is a guitar driven instrumental fusion of shred metal, classical, blues, prog rock, jazz, latin and blue-grass by virtuoso session guitarist and film score composer, Ray DeTone.
These tracks were plucked from over 80 songs RDT composed for TV & film from April of 2005 to January 2006 - a prolific ten-month period. Other than a few guests on piano and drums, DeTone is in complete control here, using a variety of guitars & textures, playing bass, percussion, keyboards and programming rhythms.
Ray DeTone has always been an eclectic player, fusing diverse musical elements, styles and genres, creating a signature sound that stands out amidst todays' onslaught of redundancy. Melody and emotional intensity coupled with the appropriate style and sound for the song are of utmost importance to this fine guitarist. And this musical maturity is once again showcased on his third instrumental CD, Guitar Noir!
