At the same time he also released his first solo piano recording entitled "Songs Unspoken" written under the name Douglas Trowbridge (his middle names). Douglas recorded one more record for Meadowlark entitled "Second Story" then he "mysteriously disappeared"... until now!
"MEMORIES OF TWILIGHT" is a collection of ten beautiful piano improvisations in styles reminiscent of artists like of George Winston, David Lanz, Jim Brickman and even a little Keith Jarrett. Recorded live digitally without overdubbing, using the new Roland RD-700SX piano. At times the piano is MIDI'ed with Spectrasonices Atmosphere Virtual Synth and Korgs Legacy Collection creating lush orchestral pads. Like Souther's other works... this music goes straight to the heart!
ABOUT RICHARD SOUTHER...
Grammy nominated artist Richard Souther is a composer, producer, arranger, sound designer and multi-keyboardist who has built a strong reputation as a top contemporary solo instrumentalist for over twenty years. He has created numerous best-selling albums in the New Age, Smooth Jazz and the Classical/Crossover markets as well as acclaimed recordings for the CCM music scene.
Richard was a child prodigy who began studying classical piano at three with then retired Professor Thomas Giles (Dean Of The Music Department/University Of Utah) until he was twelve. He went on to study with the legendary Russian piano teacher Max Willerson and concert pianist Reid Nibley. "During that time, I realized I didn't really enjoy playing other people's music exactly as written and wanted to explore the world of jazz improvisation... and Surf Music!"
While attending middle school during the Sixties in Los Angeles, Souther began playing keyboards in LA Rock bands on the Sunset Strip and developed a love for a wide variety of different types of music. By the early Seventies he was becoming an in-demand session musician who played with numerous artists like Geronimo Black, Feather, Barry McGuire, Richie Furay, Pat and Debbie Boone, and Denice Williams.
