"Dolmen Ridge" by GNOMUSY

02/11/2010 Random Music Review
Song:"Dolmen Ridge"
Artist:GNOMUSY (David Caballero)
Genre:World / New Age


David Caballero first released his music to the public in 1999 on the classic MP3c site under the artist name "Gnomusy", meaning the Gnome of Music. His music is bright and full of optimism in so many ways. David has always been influenced by nature and beauty, influences which show up quite readily in very deep detail embedded in his music. It is no wonder that those who have come upon his music fall so madly in love with it and cherish it as a part of their music collections. Dolmen Ridge starts off with an almost ethereal pad and piano introduction soon followed by a hauntingly beautiful reverberated flute which penetrates all the way into the soul. There is absolutely no denying that this is one of the most captivating pieces of music in existence. Listen through as the melody continues to be carried by those fantastic pads and the percussion kicks in.

David is very keen about his production. He always felt very limited by the MP3 file format but still managed to record his work in stunning 24-bit and downsample it to the 16-bit required to create MP3 files without losing very much audio quality. His pride in production shines through his music as the levels are completely flawless in every way and the music is as crystal clear and sharp as is technically possible from an MP3 file.
