Музыка Ричарда Сирлса сочетает в себе кельтику, ренессанс (средневековые переложения для гитары) и нео-ренессанс, в стиле нью-эйдж. При создании своей музыки Ричард использует как старинные — так и современные инструменны. Прежде всего он классический гитарист. Но путешествия по Великобритании, Азии, Африке и на Ближнем Востоке – вплели свои, осбенные звучания в его мелодии. Во время своего обучения на классической гитаре Ричард очень увлекался музыкой Средневековья и Возрождения благодаря знакомству с записями Давида Монроу и Павла Одетты. Увлечение Средневековьем иногда сочетается в его музыке со стилем нью-эйдж, например, с обращениям к звуковым фонам природы – ритмам самой Земли.
Центральное место в его, обладающих яркой мелодией, композициях занимает гитара. Но Ричард Сирлс активно включает в свои обработки самые разные инструменты — клавесин, флейту,гобой, фортепьяно, электронные инструменты. Что не традиционно. В контексте его музыки есть не ортодоксальное слияние Востока и Запада, старинные и современные инструменты помогают шире развернуться фантазии слушателя, унестись в новые сферы воображения.

his album features eleven original compositions by Richard Searles that combine the exquisite sound of the Classical Guitar with the sounds of other traditional instruments - Recorders, Oboe, Harpsichord, and Percussion - and the sounds of Nature. These works have won praise from both classicists and New Age enthusiasts for their innovative blending of the old and the new, the natural and the man-made, the serene and the passionate.
