Breaking new ground in the Electronic Music genre, Shayne White's debut solo album, The Opposite Way, is comprised of ten original compositions performed on an array of virtual analog, FM, and sample-based synthesizers, along with acoustic instruments such as Celtic harp and recorder. Shayne's sophisticated studio, centered around CreamWare's innovative Pulsar system, has enabled him to craft high-quality, intricate soundscapes that appeal to music lovers and technology enthusiasts alike. Though exhibiting influences ranging from Celtic Music, Early Music, New Age, Progressive Rock, and even Jazz, The Opposite Way maintains a feeling of unity that is one of the hallmarks of Shayne's characteristic style.

The Opposite Way is now shipping! You can order your copy at Northern Wind Recordings, CD Baby, Amazon.com, or direct download from the iTunes Music Store.
