7and5

7and5 is a new take on new age. A blend of modern electronic arranging, classic nuance and orchestration, and strong memorable melodies; this is New Age music for a listening audience. Detailed, invigorating, and thought provoking. This is New Age for a new time.



The 3rd album released in 2010 is called "Hope, Destiny, and Choice". The album is a further exploration into the 7and5 sound palette, with an emotional undercurrent of how these 3 things shape our lives and outlooks.



Whether a fatalist or not, there is always "hope" which drive us forward and allows for optimism in even the worst of times. Often, it is the concept that we all have a greater "destiny" that is the source of this hope. But, ultimately, I believe it is our "choice" that makes us who we are, and the force that carries us to wherever we go. Apologies to those who may believe in pre-destination.
In 2006, 7and5 released "In A Moment's Time", and with the symbolism of the lightning strike cover, channeled the mood; both positive and negative, of how things can change instantly.in the blink of an eye, or "in a moment's time". It was very critically acclaimed and produced 3 1's and 8 Top 10's on various New Age and Electronic Music charts at Broadjam.com.



2007 saw the release of "Trading Stories". Again as evidenced by the cover, was to be a more upbeat and uplifting album. The cover is a heavily treated picture that originally came from the artwork on a children's carnival ride. 3 more number 1's at Broadjam, 6 Top 10's so far, and "Sleepwalking" was voted to the list of The Best Of 2007 by Mystic Soundscapes Internet Radio (www.mysticsoundscapes.com.
