"Timeless" is a four-part suite of light, flowing electronic music, divided into roughly equal parts of 15
minutes each. As usual, the music and cover art are beautiful. The music seems to swirl around in circles
of ever-widening space. There is an overall feeling of floating, a sense of being lighter than air. The music
is deceptively simple in the ease in which it flows, but there are things happening musically on many levels.
For example, throughout "Past Boundaries" there are broad strkes of sound which hold for several seconds,
then faade, then repeat, then fade again. On top of this is a rawer, processed sound like mixing wood and metal,
which pulses at regular intervals, but in a slightly irregular fashion. On yet another level;, feathering strings are
gently plucked, and tinkling high-pitched chimes ring out. Only when conciously trying to sort these out do they
seem like individual parts, because they meld together into a single relaxed musical mood. Sometimes, when I
hear music with many layers, I can pick out a part I would leave out, because it destracts from the rest, but that
isn't the case here. What could have ended up sounding busy just sounds like it belongs together.
"Breathing The Infinite" is softer, but the layers are still there. Carty seems to have a knack for apt
titles, as this music does seem to breathe, as does the closing title track. Not a sequencer or a beat of any
kind is to be had here. This is a music to calm the nerves and soothe the senses.
