North is a musical project currently centered in Ann Arbor, Michigan that has been producing original music since 1994. Drowning In Sky is the project"s first full-length recording, and in many ways is the first release to really express the full scale of North"s vision. Built on a powerful rock foundation, the 11-track album features highly developed orchestration and production, as well as the trademark eclectic mix of writing that defines North"s work to date. Over a dozen brilliant guest performers in genres from world to blues to folk to classical to metal add a wild palette of flavors to the record, resulting in a true album - a rich and inspiring experience for the real music-lover. North mainly performs acoustic rock music featuring strong acoustic and electric rhythms, intelligent and diverse percussion, melodic flute lines and playful vocal harmonies; but has also touched upon a cappella, world, new age and classical styles, including film-scoring efforts. North aspires to create moving music across varying genres, but centers on evocative rock and progressive folk with an emphasis on thoughtful composition and introspective lyrics.
