ONE PIANO, ONE VOICE.. 　　This recording is very "unplugged" and intimate, reserved for those times when you can sit by yourself, light a candle, and have an introspective journey. It's all about sifting through the chaos of life, and extracting those truths which resonate with your life. 　　 　　REVIEW: 　　This is what a multi-talented singer/songwriter sounds like when he sits down at his piano and is not afraid to wear his heart on his keys. "Peacing it Together" by Schroeder is an honest work of art recorded in one sitting with only raw vocals and piano and no special studio tinkering. The payoff for the listener comes ringing through loud and clear: truth, sincerity, vulnerability, passion, openness, and an intimate feeling of being invited in to the sacred spaces of his heart as a dear old friend. 　　 　　It's George Michael meets Dave Mathews meets Jack Johnson meets Sarah Mclachlan meets something entirely and uniquely funkily and jazzily Schroeder. He's a fully expressed artist's artist, and for those of us who get inspired by someone's fearless striving toward their potential, listening to this cd is something of a religious experience. Put it on and become friends with a high quality human being "peacing it together." 　　 　　ariom rhodes, 　　 　　music lover 　　 　　 　　 　　BIO-ish thing 　　Schroeder grew up learning music - everything he did as a child revolved around learning to play the piano. 　　 　　Not having any other desire than to simply continue his training at the piano, and compose bizarre grooves and textures in his midi studio, Schroeder studied the endlessly twisted satanic music of Jazz in Toronto for 4 years. 　　 　　Since then he's relocated to the Ottawa Valley where he married his childhood sweetheart in a matrimonial feast fit for fairies, and works hard raising two girls. 　　 　　In live gigs, the audience is treated to new twists on the deeply compelling songwriting from the new album Peacing it Together, new material in prep for the next one, and innovative contemporary versions of jazz songs and jazzy versions of contemporary rock songs. In this way Schroeder is on his way in becoming realized in his vision, and in communicating something universally relatable. 　　 　　In addition to recording wonderfully soulful music, Schroeder produces jingles and post-production audio for radio and tv, as well as creative composition for the healing arts, all thanks to the partnership Errol (Star) Francis forged with him at Asoma Music Productions .  (asomamusic.com) 　　 　　Also, Schroeder passes on his gift of music to kids with enough balls to come sit in a small room for half an hour a  week with a funky, (smelling, that is) half-shaven dude like him! 　　 　　 　　 　　SCHROEDER 　　PO Box 264 Killaloe, ON 　　K0J 2A0 　　CANADA 　　schroeder@asomamusic.com 　　asomamusic.com
