Howard Ferre: Ambient, new age, neoclassical, jazz.


Howard Ferré is an Ambient (Neo-classical/New Age) composer who has been creating original music, soundtracks and sound design for the theater, film and video for over 25 years and has been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike.

"It's a hard-to-pin-down disc that embraces spacey floats, so-cool jazz flavors and post-rock melodies with equal ease... This Journey's End is clearly just the beginning."
Hypnagogue

"For me the most poignant pieces are the wistful, meandering Wax Branches where beautifully fragile piano lines take the lead over airy synthetic washes and the equally reflective Reaching Out, where the electronic soundscaping is a little more prominent, suggestive of heavenly light and weightless reverie, once more with sensitive, melancholy piano phrases pulling at the heart."

Howard was always mesmerized by how music and sound brought so much emotion to a performance. His earliest inspiration came in the second grade, when he was introduced to the organ. As several of the sounds were being demonstrated by one of the teachers, he remembers marveling at how one person can perform and compose fully orchestrated sounds all by himself. Fascinated by this, he grew up with an extensive movie soundtrack collection and became influenced by Peter Gabriel, Arvo Part, Philip Glass, John Williams, Miles Davis and Pink Floyd. As the years went on, he accumulated a wide variety of synthesizers, samplers and recording equipment and now Howard brings the audience into the show with his ear for the truth in sound and his passion for the way it touches a listener with emotion.

Howard continues composing music and Sound Design, through Ferrestudios, in the South Florida area for various productions and theatre groups. He is also working on a new album coming out soon and an original musical project to be announced in 2012.
