First I've heard of him was last week, watching a Colin Firth video on youtube to his brilliant piece, "Orange." Haven't stopped listening to it since! Fantastically talented man. Both of them, lol.
Oh guys, He's amazing alive. I got marvelled by him last year in Chester where I think he still busks every sunny day. No words to comment, brilliant. Those who say something negative about him are jerks at music. He's an excellent guy and signs every record you want him to.
Tahnks a lot Ed, you made me cry listening Pachelbel's Canon. Thanks indeed.
I'm so happy he is still so creative...I remeber 91'or 92' in Warsaw Poland...club Fugazi...he was playing as support metal group Paradise Lost...I was working there and one of technic-guy made a copy "Purple Violin..."for me.I still have it..and love it
My late father used to listen to Ed's opus beata 'Purple Violin Concertos' all the time. Whenever I hear Ed's violin I feel close to dad. Excellent and emotive stuff :)
You can buy these on amazon for 70p, this guy deserves that at least. I never buy music tbh, but this man has no manager and he really is amazing, please buy some of his songs!
I love how this guy modernizes the violin and makes it look exciting for younger people, this guy is a genius, i stopped playing violin after half a year and started playing electric guitar which i still play and now i wanna try violin again and maybe get a hip electric violin to learn to play neoclassical like this guy does.
i believe he has a website but i don't know the address but if you could find it i'm sure they will be avaialble on there. In York on Saturday he said they were available for download off itunes. hope this helps
chesters loss ...the city of yorks gain ....i first saw this guy playing in nottingham outside the braod marsh shopping centre in the mid 80s ..he was awsome then and even more awsome now ......thanx for posting ....
He released a new album, called Symphony. The first 4 tracks on this record are classical violin. The other 6 tracks are 'modern'. He made those pieces not only with the electric violin, but he also uses percussioninstruments and syntersizer on this album. I really recommend it to you to buy it some day.
Ed.... get ur butt back to Chester ... i miss hearing ur haunting melodies echo through the streets.... besides... my mates nicked ur cd off me and i want to buy another....
I've been a fan of Ed for years, He's from Liverpool where I grew up watching his busk in town. Every time I hear him I get goosebumps. Such an amazing guy - not the commercial crap that record companies pump out on a daily basis. He has a few albums, all of which are incredible. His wife is a singer, how lucky are their kids?! x
@LickleVickle I too am mesmerized by Ed... having stood smoking where Ed played in York the week before that clip was captured... I have to come back to the UK to find him again and buy his music from him... I could order it online but would miss hearing it the way Ed does... limitless as he plays to the sky....to catch the winds and dance across the ether... if you see him again... enjoy extra for me :~) Peace
Really original and interesting. Completely fresh sound completely unlike any other. Almost anyone can appreciate the musical talents of Ed Alleyne-Johnson.
This music from this very talented artist and awsome individualist is way beyond anything I have ever heard with this instrument. You should read about him on Wikipedia.....My kind of human being.
Arr, me has this on my computer - and I actually paid for it. One of the few records I ever actually *bought* and damn proud of it! The whole album was made of awesome
I too enjoy eds music before i die i want to be able to create a beautiful peace of music such as ed our make a drawing that will bring tears to people's eyes.
incredible stuff
