Scallion

Scallion is the main songwriting and recording project of Edible Onion founder and multi-instrumentalist, Darian Scatton. Scallion's music is amorphous and hard to pin down, ever-changing and shifting in color and tone at the whims of its creator. The recordings are usually comprised of sounds created with whatever instruments happen to be lying around at the time, giving the recordings an odd sense of time and place as well as the sense of wonderment that comes from happy accidents and the chaos of home recording. For now, Darian performs alone with just his voice and his harp, paring down his densely arranged recordings to their emotional root, displaying them openly with beautiful sadness.

"...Darian Scatton's mild falsetto guides these prose filled tracks over their darker/sadder undertones. A cool and distant sense of nature (see the cover art) is invoked a lot in the songs to set the stage for the tales of pain and loss. Also uses of singing saws, chiming piano, and varied percussion styles also add to the tones for the songs. No one song really personifies Scallion... taken as a whole though, a better, more accurate picture of the nuanced music Scallion makes becomes clear."
