Take away the array of bombastic pop songs, separate them from the ugly noises and you end up with this; mood music from heaven. furiousBall doesn't just create music, he shapes it. By drawing a bit from jazz, a bit from funk, drips from reggae and then mixing it up, furiousBall moulds his music around his own personality rather than someone else's.
There is a singular touch to furiousBall's songs that captivate, regardless of one's previous musical tastes. Soft, gentle and very atmospheric, furiousBall insists on making music that speaks to the heart and soul rather than just the head. Inspiration comes "from anything really The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein, the funny way someone laughs, Kurt Vonnegut books, Kurt Cobain, the way my son laughs or some graffiti under a bridge somewhere. If you only let music be influenced by music," he says, "you're not creating art you're a parrot."

Very inspirative music, thanks for sharing!Cool music Van. Bravo for sticking with your inspiration!
Nice to meet you... I lived in Lawrenceville NJ during my Junior High and High School years - went to Trenton Central High, then later to Trenton State College. Never visited Medford Lakes that I remember, although I used to like to cut school during my senior year and drive to the shore , so I may have passed close by at times. I always loved being in the pine barrens - very peaceful, like a semi-wilderness. Not many good views though - lol.
Keep up the great music!
Best,
Steve M.All around and around, the hidden scent of... of... what is that scent anyway? Is that meat? Did somebody leave some meat in here?
Dig this "higher" track. Those steel-drum islandy sounding things are really unexpected.
