Running at just under an hour, this disc features Carty on synths, sampler, native plains flutes, shaker, & voice. On Skyhearts, Carty creates an inspirational collection of bold, atmospheric works. The pieces have an underlying Native American influence, but Carty's synths carve out a more expansive ensemble sound. He artfully merges cultural influences with new perspectives on composition. These are well composed ambient pieces, with great attention to tonal quality. Carty is one of those rare artists who carefully leaves space for the music to breathe and expand. As a composer, he chooses his timbres well. The album is a varied and evocative collection of influences and moods. Carty searches a confrontation with the sound. Through his experiences, he creates a constellation of sonic structures. Anyone into artists like Stearns, Braheny, Rich, or Vidna Obmana, should really enjoy this collection.
