Mason Stevens
One Step into the Unknown

Mason Stevens is an electronic guitarist with a 
unique twist. He combines an electric guitar with 
processed guitars and sequenced percussion (or so it 
seems). One Step into the Unknown is a set of 
very cool space music compositions tinged with 
Mason’s sense of humor. His titles are – generally – 
tongue in cheek, or – more appropriately – “pick in 
pocket.” With titles like “Chili Peppers in 
Orbit” and “Matador on Mars,” listeners 
expect and get some bounce for their bucks. Mason’s 
style and technique give the compositions flair and 
panache. The joy of the music makes the set seem 
like one gigantic scherzo. Succinctly, this CD is lots 
of fun! - Jim Brenholts

Luna Waves

Luna Waves is a set of electronic funk and blues 
from Mason Stevens, an expert at combining 
traditional electric guitars with modern processed 
and electronic guitars. He surrounds rock and roll 
riffs with huge atmospheres and contrasts steamy 
blues with dynamic soundscapes. The unique 
perspective is quite refreshing and makes deep 
listening a challenging experience. This CD, on the 
SpaceForMusic label, is an instant classic! -

Mason Stevens & Tony Gerber & William Linton
Cosmic Flight

Cosmic Flight is a dynamic collab from Mason 
Stevens, Tony Gerber and William 
Linton. It is also a testament to Mason’s 
“guitartistry.” Tony has a reputation as one of 
e-music’s finest guitarists. On this disc, however, 
Mason handles ALL of the guitar work! Tony 
and William handle the synths. 
And it is an awesome CD! It is much more ambient and 
atmospheric than listeners expect from Tony and he 
handles it well! Mason’s guitar is smooth and it flows 
around and through voluminous cloudy atmospheres 
and soundscapes. This is a very cool and relaxing 
sound. - Jim Brenholts




Luna Waves
by Mason Stevens
SpaceForMusic.Com Records, 2001
http://www.spaceformusic.com

        The Nashville-based label "SpaceForMusic" specializes in mixing pop, blues,
rock, and electronic music in an upbeat, friendly American style. Their main
band is the veteran planetarium soundtrack ensemble "SpaceCraft," but they
have plenty of friends adding to the label's tradition. Mason Stevens is one
of them. Luna Waves is a charming mix of languid blues guitar, casual
salon jazz pickin', rock solo-izing, and spacey electronics. The guitar
always leads, and the rhythms are understated and machine-generated. Some of
the tracks feature a harder guitar sound, a bit like Santana or Pink Floyd,
but in my opinion Stevens' best work on this album is on the quieter tracks
when he sits back and lays down some sweet, rambling note-lines while the
synthesizer glimmers in the background.
