About Me |
|
| We consist of composer/conductor Owen Harris and a shifty shifting rag-tag group of individuals who form his orchestra, the Saracens. With nothing but empty pockets, spare time, and music theory we have created more than 60 original compositions ranging from Contemporary Classical Music to RocknRoll. We seek the great white whale, Oppurtunity. In eager pursuit we'll cross oceans, climb mountains, and perhaps even play a Bar-Mitzvah or two. We hope to make better quality recordings of ourselves when the economy permits.
Tell us what you think of our music and I'll quote you under "Sounds like." And if you have any information regarding the great white whale, Oppurtunity or it's whereabouts, please contact us.BOOKING INFORMATIONOWEN HARRIS

" - Alan of Dale "Such a welcome distraction! " - R. Barnard "Pretty heavy shit..." In CNFLD "When music flows from cacophony to harmony it redefines harmony. You capture that." -Doug Anderson " "Sounds like a gypsy resurrected as a pirate who’s tripping on music." - Michael "Sounds like plastic neon bubblefish, with milk." - will delacroix "Your sound is koo dude.. I like the recordings just like they are.. Liked you just plugged in, the way they did it in the 70’s." - Chino Maurice "The spirit of Zappa, alive and well." - The Owl Service "If i could convert what goes on in my head while i am sleeping into sound it might sound something like this." - Blue Cadet-3 "Titillates my tits and expostulates my gulliver.

Much pleasure, yes." - okay "The one thing that strikes me is the eclecticism of your music, while still managing to sound unified.It’s very earthy and real and quite smart: odd time signatures and a seeming avoidance of cliched chord and melodic progressions. And it all sounds quite natural and convincing." - Alain Mayrand Record Label: Unsigned Type of Label: None |
