VIOLINSONG


Breaking the mold of the classical violinist. I bring my background in rock, jazz and even bluegrass to the stage...I love to play my instrument, which IÕm well known for (Boston Pops, etc.), but ideas are important & I need to SING them. In my concerts, I play my own original music. It's important that if musicians have the language and ability to express themselves that they do so, to empower everyone. So I sing, play violin & piano with my tracks and/or band, depending on the gig.

Styles:

contemporary, funky-classical, avantgarde pop-rock with some rap, fiddle tunes,R&B, blues. ambient, fusion, ethnic, dramatic film & TV  scoring

Stylistic influences:
rock, indie, jazz, classical & Baroque,, ambient, fusion, ethnic and dramatic film & TV composers

Free - a pop-rock tune - lyrics & music written & performed by Harris Shilakowsky

New YearÕs Jig; an original tune in the style of a rousing Irish Jig

Put the colors of the soul back into the air. Be Free to Dream. Dreaming = the basis for invention. Invention is what makes the human race live on.

I wrote this gentle instrumental as the first in a series of songs about the sea. I call it Sailor's Dream, but it started out being Sailor's Memory. I guess its his daydream. The sailor remembers his loves lost...far away, and memories of events that occurred on his ship on the open seas. He's standing on a rocky shoreline watching the waves crash up as he remembers...
