The biggest complaint about the Nashville music scene when viewed from the outside looking in is that there is a surprising amount of diversity of musical offerings. For those inside the “scene” that’s a huge No Duh statement. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t take a step back and recognize that sometimes there really are astounding creations being made in musical realms that you would never expect.
David Leone’s compositions are longform aural journeys combining different instruments and various manipulations. You could call it ambient. You could call it experimental nu-form classic. You could call it tinkering. But you wouldn’t knee jerk to call it Nashville. It’s a little something different and it’s worth sitting with.
