Robert Carty – Ethereal Deserts
CD-R, Private Release, 2003

Utah-based Robert Carty has come up with a another atmospheric work called “Ethereal Deserts”.
The album features seven longform tracks in which a delicate blend of soundscapes and textures are folded together with some slight percussive and tribal elements scattered over it.

This music actually takes you on a trip through various stages, sometimes gliding (“Stories of Ancient Winds”, “Electric Skies”, “Life Presence”), but always heading towards unknown destinations, nicely enhanced by weather conditions and assorted environmentals. Robert’s latest recordings have gained on intensity and expression, they are able to surround the listener comfortably.

All in all, this is an essential recording in nowadays ambientspace music, also giving the listener something extra when using headphones.
