Roach, Steve
The Reverent Sky
As a significant metaphor in Steve Roach's sonic milieu, the ever-evolving sky inspired these lush ambient layers of enveloping atmospheric reverie balanced with a timeless pulse. The four longform compositions slowly unfurl harmonic wonder and timeless spectral melodies balanced with grounded mantra-like rhythmic elements. Created in his desert ridgetop studio which looks out onto a vast distant horizon equal parts land and sky THE REVERENT SKY reflects Roach's ongoing dialogue with the worlds beyond the studio, his artistic process shaped by the panoramic vistas outside and the unbound inspiration within. Perched amidst this breathtaking view as he creates, Roach infuses his music with the subtle yet profound transitions at the very heart of this auditory experience: the light of daybreak to evening twilight, sunrise to sunset and the ethereal transitions into the deep of the night's sky.
