David Feder
SINGULAR CREATIVE VISION
David Feder is a phenomenal guitarist...and one of the best kept secrets in the Florida Keys. . . Black Emerald is David Feder's best work yet. I've listened to it over and over, and each time I'm knocked out by the energy of the music. Dave's touch with the Latin guitar is magic.

EXQUISITE AND BREATHTAKING
David Feder is one of the most exquisite and breathtaking guitarists of our time. David (& Nyan's) music is sensually dazzling, with a rural, outdoorsy freedom that swings just where it should.
The Free Press
WORLD-CLASS ACT
David Feder took the stage next -- a real world-class act.
He did amazing things on an electrified Taylor classical guitar during an absolutely incredible set. If his sheer musicianship wasn't dazzling enough, the stories he told about his compositions were funny, moving, and he really touched a lot of people with his music, including Black Emerald.

MUSIC SO CLEAR AND TRUE
If you get lucky enough to catch Dave Feder ... somewhere, you might feel like you were sitting at home in his living room, with Dave telling stories and chatting comfortably with his guests. Then he picks up his guitar and the music is so clear and true that it makes you shiver.

ECLECTIC FOLK MEETS CELTIC MEETS SAMBA
He engages the audience with a humorous wit as he tells stories of life on the road and in the Keys. He has an eclectic 'folk meets Celtic meets Samba' musical twist to his songs that are full of smart philosophical lyrics. The audience was dazzled and delighted.

TRUTHFUL CREATIVE VISION...A PERSONAL JOURNEY
The hard knocks of waiting to be heard in the music world can either redirect someone's career out of the business or embitter some of the brightest lights into dullness. And sometimes a seasoned artist can get so lost in the seduction of mercenary musical survival that their childhood dreams are lost forever. But occasionally, in a rare moment, we are blessed with the kind of talent that waits for it's time and refuses to compromise.
After years of traveling down some challenging musical slopes David Feder has emerged as just that kind of musician with a truthful creative vision all his own. He reminds us that the struggle was worth the wait and inspires us to try it ourselves. He has gifted us with an untainted collection of musical ideas that are savvy yet innocent, intelligent yet accessible. Playing from his heart he shows us more than just a glimpse of his soul. His musicianship incorporates miles of styles, woven into a personal journey telling stories about life through the strings of his guitar.
The music filled with virtuosity is not just about that; the real flavor comes from the humor behind the technique, and the fusion of unlikely cultures that ultimately are tied together in a common folk heritage. When you experience Feder performing live, you get what's it's really about. He commands the fretboard with jazz, blues, flamenco and bluegrass riffs that become dazzling guitar dances. And the story he tells about each composition gives insight so unsuspectingly into the psyche of a man full of life and love.
Music conceived from a cross-country motorcycle ride as in "The Ride" and his own interpretation of a young girl's dream in "Leila's Dream" shows how Feder uses his guitar not only to play but to illustrate.
He is very amusing when he tells of how "Salagua" was created in a real life club experience with his band when a request for a Gypsy Kings style tune turned into a Latin jam. It is especially touching when he shares his feelings for his wife Suzi (whose actual name is Sara) in "Saranade" and his son Nyan in my personal favorite the "Bun".
David Feder's music needs to be heard and his show needs to be experienced. After listening to Feder this past weekend at his concert at the TRIAD Theatre in New York City, it is evident that he has much to offer to the guitar repertoire. And he brings with him an abundance of entertainment to the stage!

CASCADES OF SPARKLING NOTES
His music is smooth and sweet and gentle but not too much. You know what I mean? There's a rural, outdoorsy freedom that swings just where it should. There's also a hardly hidden, say, low profile kind of melancholy thread woven through it that, for me, gives David's music it's greatest opportunity for greatness, a universality. Call it a bond of sympathy among countless souls. This might sound heavy but it isn't. David's hands flutter around a guitar creating cascades of sparkling notes; some drift away, others fall into places in us seemingly pre-shaped just to hold them. Not one note is thrown away, a quality shared with only the best writers, composers.

GENUINE SENSE OF EARTHLY GRATITUDE
David blends Latin jazz, funk, and the traditional . . . a superb experience in sound. I like that he puts "Please adopt a homeless animal" on all of his CDs; it's that sort of genuine sense of earthly gratitude that so often gets misplaced in the music world. He could easily be the hottest thing out of the Florida Keys right now.

SUBLIME PERFORMANCE
On a scale of one to seven, this one's a 10--this hillbilly-jazz artist, everybody should talk about. The distillation of David Feder's music as an art form features unforgettable wider geographic explorations -the advent of cool world music, with magnificent, economical arrangements and sublime performances by this bandit.

In a quest to create the perfect music for massage sessions, musician Emil Gagliardi has produced Detaching the World: Ambient Music for Massage, Relaxation and Meditation. With a length of just more than one hour, Detaching the World is perfect for most bodywork sessions."
- Massage & Bodywork Magazine, April/May 2002
"Detaching the World contains no percussion or vocals to detract from its soothing sounds. The sounds are only that - a sort of hypnotic background noise, like a computerized ocean. The purpose, the creators say, is to mirror breath, and the CD has that quality. It's dreamlike and gentle. The CD is definitely right for those who don't like to be interrupted by background music."
- Massage Therapy Journal, Fall Issue 2002
"Detaching the World has a sound designed to help create an inner journey to a place of peace and tranquility."
- The Charleston Post & Courier
“If you enjoyed Volume 1 of this collection, you’ll want Volume 2. This soothing, ambient guitar music is specifically designed for massage therapy sessions: The volume never fluctuates, there are no breaks in the music, and no accelerated tempos to break the massage rhythm.”
- Massage & Bodywork Magazine, Aug/Sept Issue 2004
"My new chronic illness has been quite an adjustment. I had tried listening to other relaxation/meditation CDs, and they literally kept frustrating me. I put in "Detaching the World" and immediately my body relaxed. It is the only music that relaxes me! It is so soothing, I've never heard anything like it."
- Jennifer D, Chicago, IL
"I love this CD, but think I am addicted to it. It's the best music of its type that I've heard."
- Michael Kaplan, L.M.T., Westfield, NJ

- Ginny Esposito, L.M.T., Simply Be Massage, So. Portland, ME

- Michelle Blattenburger, L.M.T., Philadelphia, PA
"I haven't stopped playing your CD. It's playing right now. I keep it on when I'm gone too, because I feel it purifies the house. Thank you!"
- Heather Bologna, massage therapist & Reiki Master, Reno, NV
