XIV COLORADO ELYSIUM
First-time visitors as well as dedicated adventurers will appreciate this NEW enhanced multi-media CD as they recognize the spectacular majesty, serenity and unmatched excitement of Colorado’s popular peaks: Mt. Elbert, Mount Evans, Maroon Bells, Mount of the Holy Cross, Crestones, Capitol Peak, Huron Peak, Mt. Wilson, the Collegiate Range, Pyramid Peak, Little Bear Mountain, Longs Peak, Mt. Sneffels and, of course, Pikes Peak.

14 instrumentals evoke the grandeur of Colorado’s mountain landscapes with over 67-minutes of innovative music that blends violin, piano, guitar and flute melodies with intricate and lavish orchestral arrangements.

The expanded color CD booklet presents unique images of the 14’ers by acclaimed photographer Steven Hoffmeyer, as well as other great adventurers/photographers like Gary Stearns, Edward Fortunado, Stephanie Porter, Jared Workman, John Kirk and Glenn Strouhal.

ROBY DEATON
Best-selling composer, multi-instrumentalist (and avid outdoorsman) Roby Deaton has received critical and popular acclaim for his previous recordings released through MysticImages: VISIONS FROM THE MIST, NOW PLAYING and THE VISIBLE SPECTRUM. XIV COLORADO ELYSIUM is his fourth release, and his first multi-media title.

Al Santos of WJZW describes Deaton’s music as “a breath of fresh air," while Zoe Bonet of Sunny 99.1 enthuses ". .Roby Deaton's music can touch your inner soul." Marco Dosal of El Dia confirms each release’s broad appeal as ". .Roby's music crosses language and cultural boundaries to satisfy all," and Bob Livermore of the M+Group praises Deaton’s "wonderful musical interpretations.”

Deaton fuses classical, new age, jazz, world beat and progressive rock influences into a unique and personal signature sound that establishes a new tonal direction in the category of “Contemporary Instrumental.” From the simple beauty of the grand piano to the compelling diversity of full orchestration, he embraces the passion between harmony and melody.

Always challenging the limits and boundaries of musical development, Deaton intertwines the rules of the established schools of thought and his own innovative theories in a way that is easy on the ears while stimulating the imagination. His music is especially appreciated by those who know that life is not just written in the key of C!
