Steve Roach - Free Downloads

 

 

A 2016 new years gift for the friends of Steve Roach's music!

Hot on the heels of the Alive in the Vortex release, comes Live In Tucson - Pinnacle Moments. This can be considered a bookend experience to the recent Vortex album; it was created and recorded February 14 2015 (16 months after the LA Vortex concert) in Tucson's Solar Culture Galactic Center.

After many requests for a recording of this Tucson concert from attendees and those who viewed the YouTube clips, Steve considered how and when to release this music. With the Alive in the Vortex release evolving into a dynamic production that took most of 2015 to create, Steve decided not to wait any longer; Live in Tucson is available now as a name your price download, with a CD to follow in early 2016.

This 74 minute release presents the highest and deepest extractions from the concert: five nearly all-new pieces captured in a studio quality live recording. The flow of energy this music holds offers an empowering way to ride an emotional soundwave into 2016.

This will be an exclusive Timeroom-Bandcamp release for the time being.
A 300 copy limited edition CD will be released February 14 2016, to coincide with the one year anniversary of the show.
At that time the music will appear at iTunes and other digital sources.

For now this is the place and time to experience the Pinnacle Moments from Tucson 2015 as we move into 2016.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wmotions quietly stir and resonate in this deeply self-reflective album exploring the terrain between melodic electronic/ambient and modern minimalism. These six pieces utilize gentle melody, harmony and sonic tonality to poignantly reflect upon the passage of time, life lived, lives passed and a time of renewal: a sigh of the ages expressed in sound.

Sigh of Ages is the result of extended periods of solitude and personal reflection for acclaimed composer Roach. Resulting directly from dynamic personal and cultural events, these pieces developed over time and in the moment. After 10 months of early morning and late night sonic meditations, Roach collected these various pieces and found they portrayed a poetic theme of sonic interpretations from this experience. Sculpted and refined in the artist’s deft hands, the source material of life itself took on a voice that spoke from a deep emotional well of subtle contemplation. A sacred realm of inner reflection.


A review from sonicimmersion.org:
With Sigh of Ages, ambient master Steve Roach brings us a grand and highly reflective work or art, a soft dweller into spacious textural realms. To compose the music, Steve once more returned to some beautiful analogue synthesizers, which included the classic 40-year-old Arp String Ensemble, The six lengthy soundscape pieces form a continuous arc of dynamic flowing gentle currents and streams. It fascinating to hear it meander through a free form landscape as its blends modern minimalism and melodic electronic/ambient as it gradually unfolds track after track. Especially “Morning of Ages” stands out with a more pronounced, haunting layering of symphonic sound. Most of all, the music is an emotional ride reflecting upon the passage of time, life lived, lives passed and a time of renewal, all expressed in harmony and softly curling melodic lines. All in all, Sigh of Ages is a true and honest ambient journey with a constant beautiful yearning underneath the majestic textural layers. It’s a metaphor to make every moment of life count and last for the fullest. Undeniably, this is one of Roach’s most personal sound trips to date meant for deep listening, a “moving testament to temporal nature and the unspoken subtle currents of life itself”. Highly recommended. - Bert Strolenberg
