STRANGER STOP AND CAST AN EYE...

Arvo Part

Finally, the musician I had meant to feature all along.

I discovered one of his songs while watching the awesome tv show; Numb3rs.

He's simply, a genius.

Biography and background info

To the untrained and normal ear, listening to his songs, one could imagine him to have lived hundreds of years ago, along with the old masters. This is what I thought at first, only to find out that he is living among the contemporary musicians. (A trained music historian/person could probably tell from the harmony and styles used that he's a modern artist, but most of us have not studied in that much depth)

His music is just very... emotional and pretty.

Yup, just close your eyes and listen to this one. Feels the bells and the layers building in the depth of the spirit.
