Komplettes MP3 Album von Chris Falson
Kurz-Beschreibung von CDbaby: "The Quiet" is a cool drink of water for the soul - all the yearning of U2 but with the intimacy of Alexi Murdoch. A musical journal of spiritual introspection which reminds you of a safe place, while it takes you somewhere that you've never been before.

"For Many years people had been asking me, 'do you have an album with just your voice and your guitar?' My answer has always been a resounding no, and up until very recently I had absolutely no desire or plans to make such an album.

Strange though it may seem, I feel quite naked and vulnerable (and quite nervous) performing on my own and yet it is often during these (odd) occasions strumming to my own voice that I experience a unique sense of peace and freedom. I had always considered myself primarily a band musician, enjoying the creative support of other musicians. However, I have somehow found an enjoyment over the past eighteen months playing solo and have actually discovered a new way of expressing myself as an artist. And so I gradually softened to the idea (with the help of my wife's constant urging) of this 'just me and my guitar' project. During a season of rest (which really means I had no work) my friend Chris Rich called up to say that he had a few days open in his studio. I explained the idea of a quiet album and he said, "let's do it!" Days later, armed with a few guitars, I drove over to his studio "The Shed" and in two very lazy days we recorded and mixed this album. Mostly new with a few old favorites, these are some of the songs that I like to sing to myself when in pursuit of 'the quiet'." Chris Falson, September 2000.


Chris Falson.....a little background......history....

Chris is an Australian born singer-songwriter living and working in LA. He is, in his own words "a jack of many trades, master of none" making a living as a songwriter, studio musician, touring artist, published author and teacher, father of two and husband of one.

These past few years he has been making a name for himself as a composer, writing songs and music for such TV shows as Star Trek, Extra, Meet My folks, Without a Trace, Rosewell, One Tree Hill, Jake 2.0 and Queer Eye.

Chris was born into a show business family in Sydney, Australia. His father played trumpet with Stan Kenton, Sammy Davis Jr. and Frank Sinatra and wrote arranged music for film and TV...he still plays Jazz and writes the occasional music piece. His mother, a nightclub singer, dancer, choreographer and actress, continues to act, direct and sing (at the drop of a hat) and was until recently a director at the New Theater in Sydney. Chris's grandfather was also a professional musician and teacher, his grandmother a piano teacher and his great grandmother a pianist for the silent film industry.

Chris worked in Australia as a studio singer and musician, record producer, stage actor, songwriter, vacuum cleaner salesman, janitor, store man and packer, record label executive and music director before moving to LA in 1993. Chris also wrote music for TV, documentary films, stage plays and radio jingles as well as playing guitar on tour for artists such as Tiny Tim, The Platters, The Ink Spots, John Farnham and Andrew Lloyd Webbers Sydney production of Cats.

For several years Chris was a member of the Totally Radical band along with Geoff Bullock and Darlenee Zschech and produced several albums for the Seam of Gold label including 'Stand' and 'War'. In 1992 Chris released his self-titled album on Broken Recods with the single 'Good People' receiving steady airplay on mainstream radio across America.

After moving to LA in 1993 he joined Maranatha! Music as a songwriter and producer, writing, playing, arranging and singing on two projects: 'Standing on the Rock' in 1993 and 'Pure Joy' in 1994. Subsequently he was invited to perform in Denver for World Youth Day to honor Pope John Paul's visit to The United States.

1995 saw the release by Chris Falson and The Amazing Stories (musicians and singers from the bands of Andre Crouch, Whitney Houston, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and the soundtrack to Disney's The Lion King) with a live CD and video reprising some of Chris's better-known gospel songs, including "All Honour", Standing On The Rock", "Come To The Waters" and "I See The Lord".

From 1994 to 1998 Chris wrote songs, played guitar and sang with the Maranatha! PK Band in 30 stadium events across America. In 1997, along with Delirious?, Matt Redmann and Noel Richards, Chris participated in the Champion concert at Wembley Stadium, London.

In 1997 Chris formed a new label "The Orchard" and has since released 3 Cd's "A Tree By The Water", "For Dreamers Only" and "The Quiet" and a 'how to' book for the Church musician and worship leader entitled "Planted By The Water".
