Conscious Mind fuses classical, jazz, ambient, and rock into
a unique sound that is both cinematic and ethereal. While it is difficult to limit and
place the music of Conscious Mind into any one particular category it
crosses the borders of alternative pop rock, adult contemporary, ambient
pop, and neo-classical.
David Atwell is the producer, musician, and artist
behind the project of Conscious Mind. As a composer, singer, and
songwriter his music is a collection of transcendental instrumental
compositions as well as songs with mystical lyrics that are expressions of
awareness, humanity, and the environment.
His love and
passion for music and art started at the age of five when he
first began playing the piano, drawing, and painting. As a teenager he began exploring musical
composition with keyboards and sequencers while experimenting with
electronic as well as acoustic percussive instruments.
While studying
Architecture in college he composed and produced his first
instrumental CD entitled "One.”
His second project “The Source” was released several
years later including a double CD with twelve songs and twelve
instrumental compositions which has given definition to the sound and musical style of Conscious
Mind.
As a musician David blends acoustic and electronic
mediums to create his unique sound and compositions. Likewise as an artist
David blends traditional drawing and
painting techniques with modern graphic art methodologies creating
his own album cover designs and artwork.
Conscious Mind is the
musical and artistic avenue in which the evolution of spiritual,
environmental, and social ideologies are explored, expressed, and brought
into awareness.
