Tom Carter, an American guitarist and improviser, stands as a prominent figure in the realm of experimental and psychedelic music. Born in Maryland, he later became a pivotal part of the Houston, Texas, underground music scene before venturing further afield. Carter is perhaps best known as one half of the celebrated psych-improv duo Charalambides, alongside Christina Carter. Throughout his career, he has honed a distinctive style marked by deep droning and hypnotic layers that stretch the conventional boundaries of the guitar.

Since the early 1990s, Carter has been crafting soundscapes that are both ethereally beautiful and hauntingly intense. His discography, comprising solo efforts as well as numerous collaborations, showcases his commitment to sonic exploration. The recent releases such as "Call Of The Dog" and "Kawnyarna" continue this trajectory, reaffirming his status as an artist dedicated to the transformative power of music. His works "Shots at Infinity 1" and "Shots at Infinity 2" are significant entries in his expansive catalog, each presenting a tapestry of avant-garde melodies and textures that invite the listener into profound auditory experiences. "The Darkened Mirror" and "Numinous" further attest to Carter’s mastery in creating immersive and contemplative instrumental narratives, solidifying his role as an architect of modern experimental guitar music.
