Frank Horvat's Discography


     Release: March 27, 2010

WholeNote Review - "Highly recommended... Will make waves musically."
A Little Dark Music
Featuring four introspective tracks with an ambient tone, this collection of original piano compositions explore real world themes like the environment, poverty and Sept 11. Despite the somewhat sombre and serious subject matter, A Little Dark Music attempts to bring peace, joy and contentment to its listeners.

Includes Earth Hour, a 60-minute continuous composition inspired by and best experienced in the dark. Dedicated to the international event that takes place on the last Saturday of every March. 25% of the proceeds from this CD go to WWF-Canada (World Wildlife Fund).
The Music:
| Working With The Sun - peppy, rhythmic [HEAR IT ON MYSPACE]
| The Week After - hypnotic, numbing
| Poverty - sombre in pulse
| Earth Hour - soundtrack for the dark




    Release: June 5, 2007

Review: "Bordering on the improvisations of Keith Jarrett...this is a truly eclectic mix showcasing Horvat's wealth of technique and energy...I'm left shaking my head in wonder."

Review: "Wildly original, often chaotic, eclectic as all get-out, and quite a ride."

I'll Be Good
An aggressive and virtuosic collection of original solo piano compositions that demonstrate an unpredictable meld of musical styles. Groove-oriented and rhythmic, these pieces without words tell deeply personal stories.

Like Franz Liszt and Metallica in a cage match! Influenced by Bach, Beethoven, Liszt, Bartók, Zappa, Rush, Miles Davis, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, metal, Tori Amos, ...
The Music:
| Starsky & Hutch - in-your-face rhythmic drive [HEAR IT ON MYSPACE]
| Filler' Up - light joyous journey, floating
| Dirty - self-explanatory ;)
| In the Name of Ignorance - disturbed acoustic electronica
| Alexis - ballad-like sorrow, innocence [HEAR IT ON MYSPACE]
| Almost an Island - inner-peace, contentment
| ZeeZoo Snaps - melancholic regret, anger
| Great House of Riffs - fun, jumpy, laid-back frenzy, unsettled
| Blind Man - quiet scattering of thoughts, introspective
| NoName - energetic adventure, syncopated, jerky
| Speedy McBlues - crazy, virtuosic, rockin’ [HEAR IT ON MYSPACE]
| Smokers - sorrow, rage, sorrow
| The Resolve - hypnotic, percussive, climax-driven
