Hailing from SF, Devin Farney is a composer/songwriter with a sophisticated and eccentric flare. As a 2-degree-holding composer he (and his music) have been part of national and international music festivals, and his music has stacked up a few notable awards and recognitions. As a songwriter he is recognized as having a knack that is at once uniquely eccentric yet personal. His music has been heard in several independent films and musical productions. He draws influence from a ridiculous array of artists, and his music shows a keen sensitivity for melodic and harmonic appeal. His 2011 release "Ventriloquism" has been described as a "lovely and soothing compilation of melodies" by Resonance Indie Vibes, and according to Skope Entertainment Inc. it is "suave, and has a distinctive charm. There is a nuance about this music with an enigmatic flair. It grabs your attention and has you engrossed all the way to the end." The music maintains a reverent tip-of-the-hat to the stylings of Beatles-era pop and occasional Radiohead-eqsue complexity, while exploring a fresh musical palate that balances piano, acoustic guitar, and synths under insightful yet infectious melodic webs. His latest effort, the Spring 2012 release Some Were Made Of Gingerbread has been described as "Indie for electro-sonic junkies, odd-meter enthusiasts, aficionados of lush melody and thick harmonies, and other subcategories of music dorks." Devin is also the keyboardist for the popular band "The Love Dimension."
