Album DescriptionAs the debut CD from multi-instrumentalist/composer Cass Anawaty, "Legacy" creates intense moods wherever it goes, ranging from peaceful and serene to dark and unsettling. Built around traditional Middle Eastern percussion and infused with exotic vocal phrases, Cass' melodies fall squarely on a bed of textured guitars and layered synthesizers, with each piece creating an ambience different from the previous and the next. Transcending genres, "Legacy" encourages the listener to become a participant in one artist's intense effort to reconcile his own current artistic visions with the early familial influences of his past, and it is as captivating as it is unique.
