"Pulsing IS what it is...PULSING!
Orbit, with its cascading rhythms and melodies, prepares you to enter the musical world of that which can only be described as "Planet DBR"!
At first, the tranquil and slow-paced vibes of Imprint command a mournful presence. Then suddenly, the somber notes are transformed into a climatic born-again frenzy. Ultimately, the song slowly drowns back to the place from which it rose.
Pulsing seems fitting as the DBR personal anthem. With its strobe-light musical appeal, this signature tune could be the "laser-light sword fight" of classical music composer combusting into contemporary hip-hop violinist. This musical explosion clears the way for futuristic musical rhythms to come.
Fusing human voice with musical overtures, Listen forces the listener to do just that. LISTEN. But we do so with a different set of ears attuned only to DBR frequencies!
Cotillion 1, my personal favorite, is incredibly delicate. This musical sanctuary creates a safe place. A place where one can journey with eyes closed and arrive at the very core of sacred humanness.
The piercing notes of Grounded don't let you forget that DBR is here with a message that is meant to be heard LOUD and CLEAR!
Wanted is wonderfully aquatic in nature. As I immerse myself in the musical notes, I am reminded of an echoing underwater heartbeat. A heartbeat that transforms itself into the lifeline that sustains and feeds my malnourished soul.
Cotillion 2: see Cotillion 1 notes!
Having seen DBR perform Filter, all I can say it that there is nothing like hearing the real thing! As I listen to this piece, I close my eyes and can still see him clearly, his movements and sounds forever etched in my memory.
Finally, I am always touched by DBR's inclination to tell the untold human stories of our times. For me, Veronica and Vincent does just that. It captures a moment in time that desperately needed a voice. This piece stands true to its storytelling appeal, especially in light of its similarity to Nothin' (Mama Mix) heard on DBR's previous CD I, Composer.
As I said before (and I'll say it again) Pulsing IS what it is...PULSING!

"Got a glimpse of his music on the national news and ordered a cd rather spontaneously - certainly no regret there - this music is original and the range is from soothing to "pulsing". I'm glad I found this artist."
