SEVEN SOURCES is the brain-child of Joel Pirard. It became the outlet for much of the backlogged material, but soon I wanted to 'release' some of it, during my MP3 'initiation.' "I believe that the 7S material has somehow been overlooked because of all the hoopla JDA has received. I am thrilled that I am getting some recognition for my own merits."
"I tend to record as I hear it in my head. My songs range from simple bluesy works to lengthy epics. My influences are many. I count bands like Kansas, Yes, Genesis, ELP, Pink Floyd, as well as others like Jeff Beck Group, Journey, Alan Parsons Project. among them

Its interesting that since pop and rock have increasingly been used in movies and TV commercials, that what was considered strictly cinematic style has likewise shown up in pop and rock (know what I mean, Vern?). A case-in-point is US-based Sevensources. All their music seems to contain long strident instrumental sections that could easily be used to highlight a scene in a major motion picture. The Sevensources sound? To me, I hear the Beatles meet Emerson Lake & Palmer... which is interesting unto itself, because members from both superbands went on to compose film scores (Keith Emerson: Knight Hawks with Sly Stallone; and Paul McCartney: Live and Let Die).
While I doubt you'd find the music of Sevensources in a Star Wars installment, its likely that such material would fit into a film like "The Rookie" or "Remember the Titans".
Producers/directors: looking for music that sets off the internal struggle of characters? Sevensources could be your source!
