In Désert d’Arabie, Gary O’Slide explores a different side of his instrumental blues, bringing the expressive language of the guitar into contact with Arabic-inspired musical colours.
The piece moves away from the familiar western imagery of much of his work. Its title suggests another desert landscape, while the music leaves the details of that place open to the listener.
At just over two and a half minutes, Désert d’Arabie offers a concise meeting of musical traditions, with the guitar at the centre of the story.
