简介

“Open your mind and Let miller’s playing spiral in; you’ll be captivated by the sound.” --Chris Hislop, The Spotlight Award-winning contemporary cellist Kristen Miller and critically acclaimed producer/engineer/composer Tom Eaton have teamed up to produce a serene, beautiful holiday record. The CD, entitled Winter Loves Company, is a sweet mix of cello and piano with a Windham Hill sensibility. It includes fresh arrangements of traditional Christmas carols as well as original seasonal compositions by both Kristen and Tom. Tom Eaton, who is best known as a contemporary folk producer, (Vance Gilbert, Ellis Paul, Melissa Ferrick) has had his work featured on ABC, NPR, and Bravo. For this reason, most people are used to seeing Tom on the other side of the glass, behind the recording console. But on this record, Tom premiers five of his most beautiful piano compositions, and the listener is in for a real treat. Kristen is a classically trained cellist who has been pushing the boundaries of the instrument for the past eight years with her rich, multilayered trademark style. She plugs her antique Parisian cello into a digital phrase recorder and effects pedals to stack layers of percussive and buttery cello sound. Billboard’s Bobby Borg calls her music “romantically, hauntingly, charmingly brilliant,” while Robert Newton of The Noise proclaims: “There is nothing she takes on that she cannot master and then tantalize us with.” Kristen says: “Tom and I wanted to make music that creates a candle-lit winter mood without being overly gloomy. It's the kind of disc that you can put on in the background while you have guests for dinner, but it's detailed enough that you could light a fire and sit down to take a good listen.”
