An innovative artist Eaton’s musical composition is an evocative style that captures the spirit of the Southwest. Combining structure with improvisation he has written scores for chamber orchestra and Sonoran desert ensembles, ambient landscape music, lyric folk songs, indigenous trance music, and sound track scores including the Emmy award winning video "Beyond Tradition." He has composed and co-composed ten albums for Canyon Records including the Grammy nominated Ancestral Voices and In A Distant Place.

"With an ensemble of violin, pan-global percussion, and winds, Eaton makes a world chamber sound that’s evocative and melodic, merging intuitive interplay and a rare timbral richness." Billboard Magazine
