These artists all share a common mission to explore new musical horizons and to create innovative dynamic soundscapes. Keyboard "Wizard", Scott Hill now has over a decade of experience composing for Film, Television & Advertising...Specialising in "(Out of this) WORLD FUSION", Scott has collaborated with acclaimed classical flautist, Dave Heath (cohort of Nigel Kennedy) on the improvisational musi
c of DREAM VOYAGER (1996) and with keyboard virtuoso, Jezz Woodroffe (co-writer with Robert Plant, Phil Collins, etc...) Other notable collaborations include, "RED PLANET, Mission To Mars" (2008), narrated by astronomer Sir Patrick Moore ("The Sky At Night" - BBC), and "PASCO", with dutch sound-sculptor, Patric Bakkenist. (PASCO albums: "GUARDIAN ANGEL" (2003), winner in the international Compo10 song contest, and "SYZYGY" (2004) one the the first surround-sound independent LP's to be released.) With comparisons to diverse artists like Herbie Hancock, Moby, Joe Zawinul, Enigma, Chick Corea, Janni, Enya, Tricky and Jean Michel Jarre, every album in the collection explores new soundscapes... From the totally ambient improvisation of "Dream Voyager" to the Punjabi Jazz Fusion of "QUASAR"...from the Latin Jazz of "Mediterranea" to unique World Fusion albums, "African Inspirations", "PANGAEA, 1 World", "LIVE THE DREAM" and "World Horizons", Scott's eclectic work spans a wide variety of genres.
