About
My name is Evan. I am a composer, sound designer, and a pianist. I've released a number of records under the name Bluetech and a new tech-house album under the name Evan Marc. This is a forum for my deeper, long form, and more cinematic musical expression. I run a limited edition hand made CD label for ambient/minimal music called Somnia and an electronic/idm label called Native State Records.
"Neo-classical ambient ala Phillip Glass and Brian Eno, Evan Bartholomew's latest is an astonishing accomplishment that is thick in production and beautiful in scope. Appealing melodies dash in and out of "Borderlands", somehow never quite finding a particular home to sit down and percolate with. Fresh approaches to an intriguing and timeless tradition seem to be what Evan likes to do. I enjoyed "Borderlands" a lot--it can set a mood or reinforce one." - smother.net
"Along the lines of a softer Roger Eno, Evan Bartholomew transcends the universe with a nicely balanced recording. "Borderland" is an excursion into the realm of ambient, soothing and the less rushed sounds. Trickles of oboe, bits of flute, and a ton of synth create an atmosphere that allows the listener the luxury to dive right into. Serenity pervades every single pore as the sounds wistfully seep in and out of your ears. Like a gentle prairie wind and the sound of the flying crows up ahead, the music is a tranquil oasis for the mind and soul." - Gaz-Eta Review
"A classical pianist with a fondness for Eno that gets his kicks by being a DJ, Bartholomew ditches his Bluetech persona to put himself front and center as a new ambient star. Different from a lot of other ambient works by being denser and more compostionally oriented, Bartholomew breaks new ground in a genre that has a tendency to marginalize itself. This might be ground zero for 21st Century head music." - Midwest Record
