| Josefa | Los Angeles | |

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'ss release in March 2005, it quickly jumped to #1 on Newagereporter.com'ss Top 100 Recordings and #8 overall in their Top 100 Recordings of 2005, nominated in their 's8220;Best Instrumental Album 's8211; Acoustic's8221; category, and 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's8212;from Connecticut and New York to a small apartment in Geneva, Switzerland, and finally to Denver, Colorado's8212;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'ss hearts to spread peace and love.



Chris Specter of the 'sMidwest Record Recap's 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 'sCritical Review's 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 #4, 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'ss cello playing, listeners will picture themselves by the flowing river that Roberts follows throughout the twists and turns of the song. Cella'ss 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's8217; album music for contemplation and love, spirit and grace.
