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.
