Dereck Higgins

Dereck Higgins, from Omaha, Nebraska, was one of our earliest MySpace friends. Dereck's music is classified as Psychedelic/Alternative/Ambient. Dereck Higgins is from a musical family - his father a known and respected jazz musician and his brothers musicians as well. It seems that Dereck has been a part of several bands and still plays with some of them.

Of the four pieces available to hear on his MySpace page, two are very melodic, beautiful pieces of music. The other two pieces have more of the psychedelic/alternative sound but are interesting. My favorite of the four is "Termination revisited."

I hope you will visit Dereck Higgins' MySpace page and experience his musical talent for yourself.

Antonio Benetto

Antonio Benetto, from Italy, is our newest MySpace friend. He is a composer and pianist. He classifies his music as Progressive/Ambient/Electroacoustic. Antonio Benetto's music has a unique and interesting sound. All four samples of his music on his MySpace page are enjoyable to listen to. Filastrocca and Nuovofiore are my favorites of the four. They are both lovely, upbeat, happy music. Time Contracts is a medium tempo instrumental & vocal piece. Il giardino is the most dramatic of the four pieces.

If you like electroacoustic music, take a few minutes to give Antonio Benetto's music a listen. You're in for a very pleasant experience.

erix piano

erix piano is another of music2work2's MySpace friends that I know little about. Erix piano is apparently Eric Silva who does vocals in another band Capulet. He lives in West Covina, CA. Two of the sample pieces on erix piano's MySpace page especially remind me of music2work2 sessions. They are The End 717 and The Flame. Both are relaxing piano pieces. Erix piano is classified as Other/Other/Other but I think it could fall into the category of Easy Listening or Ambient. Check out erix piano and see what you think.
