Roach,steve - Etheric Imprints - Music CD

Steve Roach dives further into the deep end of introspective electronic / ambient music on a release best "elegant minimalism." These four long-form pieces bring into form a contained sense of stillness and reflection: a view into the molecules of emotion and enhanced perception. The moody, melodic title track was created with an highly processed electric grand piano; Roach profoundly shapes and molds musical space and tone in his hands. Performing in real time and responding to an expansive electro-acoustic environment, moments of stillness arise like waves of flow and ebb while a substratum of analog modular synth zones provides a constant, slowly shifting undercurrent of mystery and harmonic interplay. A mesmerizing soundworlds from an artist immersed in the sensual realms of electronic/ambient sonic creation.
