My
introduction to Robert Linton’s acoustic guitar music was three years ago on Beyond The Clearing. Adrift In Wonder is the newest offering from
the talented guitarist.
The recording was mixed and mastered by Corin Nelsen of
SycroSonic Productions. If you are familiar with the new age genre you will
recognize some of the people that contributed to Adrift In Wonder and come to an understanding of why it is such a
pleasing listen.
The violin (Sara Milonovich), English Horn (Jill Haley),
Cello (Eugene Friesen), Electronic Wind Instrument and Alto Flute (Premik
Russell Tubbs) add an exceptional layer of sounds to Robert’s acoustic
six-string journeys.
The collaborative spirit they have in the new age culture
is very effective for all involved. These are busy musicians contributing to so
many of the releases that come out, with responsibilities of their own
recordings as well. It is an “everyone gets a slice of the pie” mentality that
anyone in a business should be taking a good look at.
Listening to this music really does have the Adrift In Wonder effect on you. It is
the perfect music for simple relaxation or meditation. Robert’s approach is
consistent and he sustains the warmth of his guitar throughout the recording,
which I naturally appreciated. I work in a highly stressful day job and this
music takes the edge off and sets my soul at ease, and gives me a renewed sense
of hope and strength I cannot find anywhere else.
The importance of music to our world goes beyond words and
music without the words most certainly can say a lot and have an impact. It is
artists like Robert Linton taking one instrument then bringing in other equally
talented artists that know how to present their music. This is a spiritual path
for the artist creating the music and very special listening experience for his
audience.
I really appreciate guitar-based albums and in particular
acoustic undertakings that have to work harder to get your attention. Adrift In Wonder opens a pathway to a
“Gentle Descent” as you are “Weaving Through the Waves” of sound and beauty
presented. I highly recommend this album to those seeking tranquility and
regeneration of energy and spirit. Synchronicity with the music can be
accomplished quite quickly, all you have to do is pay attention to what you are
hearing.
A+ musicianship and production set Robert Linton apart from
those aspirant folks looking to complete the same experience with the
gratifying results that all listeners and he will surely enjoy.
