Flow State - Steve Roach
You’re on the free tier of Flow State. To get our weekly Tuesday podcasts and access our full archives (including Spotify playlists), become a subscriber: Good morning. Today we’re listening to Steve Roach, an American composer from southern California. We previously featured Roach in 2019. In the ‘70s, Roach was inspired by the desert landscapes near where he grew up as well as the experimental electronic music of Klaus Schulze and Tangerine Dream.¹ We’re playing the first of three volumes of Quiet Music, a series he composed from 1983 to 1986. Made with delicate tones from hardware synthesizers, Quiet Music is inspired by the desert, which has “a kind silence you rarely hear these days,” he told Ambient Visions. We’re also playing Roach’s 1998 collaboration with guitarist Roger King, Dust to Dust, after which NTS Radio named their excellent, new “Ambient Americana” mix. Quiet Music 1 - Steve Roach (60m, no vocals) Dust to Dust - Steve Roach & Roger King (60m, no vocals) We wish you a great start to your week. |
