In 2020 everything changed for the artist Wide Eyed. Driven by the pandemic, the former rock band frontman, classically trained violinist and pianist, producer and hit songwriter could see clearly the path his new project needed to take. Inspired by Bon Iver, Fantasia on a Theme (Vaughan Williams), American Beauty (Thomas Newman) and War Horse (John Williams), cinematic vivid passion, melancholy, joy and sentiment fill his two-to-four-minute masterpieces. It’s one thing to hear but another entirely to find yourself really engulfed in the ambience. As people become more appreciative of the smallest things, realising how fragile the world – and indeed life itself is – there’s a renewed appreciation for music with intensity. Wide Eyed is classical yet with a modern approach, making his work accessible to all. Feeling reflective? Lost? Hopeful? Invigorated? It’s all there, whatever you’re seeking.
