With this first track, divided into three parts, I start a sound journey dedicated to relaxation, meditation or holistic practices.
I have been composing, recording environmental situations and experimenting with different instruments since the mid 90s, even if only in 2006 I started producing albums.
I practice martial arts, I have been teaching Kung-Fu and Taiji for over twenty years, I study music and shamanic ceremonies on the spot, although I interpret a lot with synthesizers, but in this track the protagonist is the Koshi, a wind chime in different melodic scales , which I have shaped through sampling by varying the intonations and octaves, transforming this small instrument sometimes into Tibetan bells, sometimes into a small music box.
The reverb and a few Pad interventions of my synthesizers are the background texture that accompany this pleasant sound full of mysticism.
My temples will want to be a series of albums dedicated to this style, slow, minimalist, deep and evocative, ideal for the practices described above, and when I say temples I mean above all nature, where true sacredness is manifested there.
Now THIS is the ultimate Christmas-gift..! Deep, soothing, comforting, and above all: classic Steve! This will be on repeat a lot.. Hopefully this will come as a CD/vinyl-release as well! Thanks Steve and best wishes from the heart. Berkdrums
If I wanted to point someone to Steve Roach's music, I'd start them here. This record spans some of Roach's signature styles, like the percolating synths in "Currents of Compassion", the dreamy abstraction of "Prometheus Passage", the tribal rhythms of "The Gone Place", and the elegiac majesty of "What Remains". It's stunning all around and guaranteed to make any day better. fyeahmetal
