With
a sound as soothing as it is inspiring, classical and jazz guitarist and
bassist Eric Roberts's debut album, "In a Silent Place" (MusicMagic
Productions, 2005), continues to dazzle New Age listeners worldwide.
Upon the album's release in March 2005, it quickly jumped to number one
on Newagereporter.com's Top 100 Recordings, and it has continued to
receive positive listener feedback.This thirteen-track collection features accomplished cellist and former Paul Winter Consort member David Darling, as well as guitarist Robert Weinstein and percussionist Ed Contreras, and offers its listeners a unique sound that Roberts himself describes as "jazzy, non-commercial New Age."

A
guitarist since the age of 13, Roberts has traveled far—from upstate New
York to a small apartment in Geneva, Switzerland, and finally to Denver,
Colorado—to develop the unique global sound mixed with tremendous
technical precision that permeates "In a Silent Place." Counting among
his personal influences Andres Segovia, Paul Winter, David Darling and
Brazilian Bossa Nova music, Roberts, a self-proclaimed troubadour,
writes music with a global goal of healing the soul and reaching out to
people's hearts to spread peace and love.
Chris Specter of the 'Midwest Record Recap' calls him "simply a great
player that knows how to craft a very special audio escape for
overburdened ears." With such a diverse offering of songs, the album
presents a plethora of sounds and emotions to the listener yet leaves
ample room for personal interpretation. A. Canales from the 'Critical
Review' writes: "For lovers of acoustic guitar, this is a must. The
instrumental tracks make perfect backgrounds for reading, meditating,
relaxing, and even for classy entertaining."
"In a Silent Place"
The
range of the tracks on "In a Silent Place" mirrors the incredible
versatility of Roberts and his accompanists. "The River Runs," track
four, was a finalist in the New Age category of the 2005 Independent
Music Awards. Featuring a Bossa Nova beat and the compelling,
spine-chilling meandering of Darling's cello playing, listeners will
picture themselves by the flowing river that Roberts follows throughout
the twists and turns of the song. "Cella's Song," written for his wife,
offers a more melodic and relaxing listening experience that
approximates meditation. Whether morose or jubilant, in a cramped city
apartment or stretched out on a yoga mat, you will find in Roberts's
album music for contemplation and love, spirit and grace.
