Reuben Walton is an artist and songwriter originally from Cape Cod, MA and currently based in Woods Hole, MA. His work spans multiple genres with a pop-centric focus. A graduate of UMass Lowell and Sturgis Charter Public School, Walton's involvement in music has been a longterm passion with a steady shift towards original material beginning in high school. From his beginnings with choral ensembles, avant garde lo-fi dadaist compositions and earnest cover songs, to his free-flowing explorations of hip hop, atmospheric R&B and plaintive pop melodies, Walton brings a unique perspective that is both vulnerable and playful, his vocals and ear for melody and rhythm forming much of the common element unifying his body of work. His modest career highlights have included performances at UMass Lowell's annual Mothers of Rock concert and various venues in Southeastern Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area. Currently he is in the process of assembling a short EP with producer AVLI Music of Avli Music Productions in Woodland Hills, CA, in addition to working on a variety of side projects and collaborations.

Story behind the song
Another one of my more abstract soundscapes. When I went to the 2007 Summer Performance Program up at Berklee College of Music, in Boston, Massachusetts, I recorded myself clumsily practicing playing the first guitar riff from the song "Meter Man" over and over in the practice rooms, which I brought my laptop into. I gradually layered it over other things, sent it to iTunes and then overlapped that in another song I was doing, and sent that, and eventually, I added that to this song and applied the automatic filter effect plugin insert to it, and that is the sort of washing drifting slowly crashing sound that you hear. This is Brian Eno on steroids. This song was originally uploaded to my SoundClick page at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=541671&content=music&songcount=106&offset=0¤tPage=2 on Friday 8/31/2007. The artwork is a black and white sideways ethereal-looking photo of my late friend Kaeli Conley, taken I think at the campground ?? near her house ?? during the summer of 2007 with my Mom's old digital camera ??. Compositionally, this song contains an interpolation of part of the melody for Björk's song "I've Seen It All (feat. Thom Yorke)", off of the album Selmasongs, which is the soundtrack to the film "Dancer in the Dark" directed by Lars von Trier and starring Björk. The interpolation is played in the synth lead part. This song is mostly instrumental but it does feature a brief loop of vocal harmonies by me.
