Geoff Hall is a multi-instrumentalist (primarily keyboards) who creates a modern world of string-laden sounds that reside somewhere between new age and neo-classical with bits of ambient worked into the mix. Many new age composers use strings in the background, maybe just for color or as a wash, but Hall puts the focus on the strings, usually a mid-sized string section sound (like the strings in a chamber orchestra). However, there also are moments when one or two cellos come to the forefront and are separately identifiable, as well as the occasional violin or viola standing out in the mix. Hall does something not too many other musicians are doing. He fully utilizes the sounds of strings (mostly bowed ones) to mold and develop his own world of sound.

There are some pieces that are fairly rhythmic (“The Run” and “Knowing”), some that are quite ambient (“To Go Alone,” although this does have a bit of rhythm too), and others that are very melodic (“Understanding the Signs”). Even though the strings are in the forefront, occasionally you might hear some tympani drums, a cymbal crescendo, a plucked string instrument, or even some ethnic-sounding beats.

A graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music Professional Program with an emphasis on orchestration and film scoring, Hall obviously really knows his craft. This recording is recommended for anyone who enjoys new age, modern classical or the sounds of a gorgeous string section.(By Lillian on Amazon)

Geoff Hall是一个多乐器演奏家（主要是键盘），他创造了一个充满弦乐的现代世界，这些声音介于新时代和新古典主义之间，并融入了一些环境元素。许多新时代的作曲家在背景中使用弦乐，也许只是为了着色或洗刷，但是霍尔把重点放在弦乐上，通常是中等大小的弦乐部分（就像室内管弦乐队中的弦乐）。然而，也有一些时候，一到两个大提琴走到最前面，可以分别识别，偶尔也会有小提琴或中提琴在混音中脱颖而出。霍尔做了很多其他音乐家都不做的事。他充分利用弦的声音（主要是弯曲的）来塑造和发展自己的声音世界。



有些曲子很有节奏感（“奔跑”和“知道”），有些很有氛围（“独处”，虽然这也有一点节奏），还有一些非常旋律（“理解符号”）。即使琴弦在最前面，偶尔你也会听到鼓点、钹渐强、拨弦乐器，甚至是一些民族的节拍声。



霍尔毕业于著名的伯克利音乐学院音乐专业课程，侧重于配乐和电影评分，显然他非常了解自己的手艺。这段录音推荐给喜欢新时代、现代古典音乐或华丽弦乐的人
