	Steve Roach Biography
		Roach stands on his own unique ground and brings into form a kind of recognition through sound that speaks of the ages in a language understood by people across many cultures and continents.
		Roach enhanced the listener's awareness and sense of their physical surroundings by capturing the influence of his experiences with deep meditations and the infusion of slow breath and silence into soundscape.
		Roach's music often shape-shifts into many forms, from serene sound meditations to what is described by critic Dwight Loop as "techno-tribal music for the global village", blending the visceral sounds he designs on synthesizers and samplers with the primordial rhythms of ethnic percussion and other exotic instruments, including the Australian didgeridoo.

	Avantgarde Music. Steve Roach: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Roach dà il massimo nei grandi spazi aperti, libero da limiti di tempo, solo con la sua strumentazione elettronica a costruire mondi sonori che riflettono il suo stato mentale in maniera tanto più fedele quanto più hanno tempo di focalizzarsi, e che dopo un po' sembrano vivere di vita propria.
		Roach assimila nel suo tetro habitat di suoni elettronici in libertà anche i ritmi convenzionali della musica di consumo, i quali, accoppiati alle lunghe frasi melodiche della scuola tedesca, definiscono atmosfere di quiete astrale.
		Roach e` il piu` grande affabulatore elettronico di sempre, l'equivalente moderno dei cantastorie di un tempo: invece di raccontare le epiche imprese di qualche eroe del passato, racconta quelle, piu` paniche che epiche, di se stesso a caccia dei segreti del nostro universo.

	STEVE ROACH - PRINCE OF DRONES - Ambient - TRANCE - Electronics - EER-MUSIC.com"
		A Roach concert is a primal ritual lit by candles and perfumed with incense, a mind-expanding light show, and a meditative experience, all wrapped in that trademark sound whose reverb, whether in the studio or in the performance space, seems to go on forever.
		Roach himself is the opposite of the gyrating rock showman or pompous classical virtuoso; dressed in dark clothing and almost hidden behind the array of electronics, he is the wizard behind the curtain who delivers real magic.
		Steve Roach: Pure Flow Timeroom, 2001 www.steveroach.com info@steveroach.com Pure Flow is "an essential flow of atmospheric soundscapes by Steve Roach." It is a collection of six pieces from Timeroom CD's and a previously unreleased track, "Hovering." The pieces are sequenced by the feelings evoked, not by chronology.

		From the early ’80s, Roach has consistently eked out a definitive niche in the electronic music community, sidestepping misinformed pigeonholers desperate to brandish his music ‘new age,’ breaking free of the Teutonic chains of yesteryear and creating a formidable catalogue of sonic art lesser talents can only pray to aspire to.
		Roach’s knack for creating intense, deeply involved soundworlds has arisen both from his mooring to time-blasted lands and the reinterpretations of his earthly muse in a live setting.
		Here Roach is in his ragged glory, ripping into his machines with gusto, devising vast weather systems of sonic events that writhe unabashedly between campfire and computer.

	ORIGINS: Steve Roach - DiscorD Distribution
		Roach's twentieth recording documents the latest chapter in his ever expanding style; a highly instinctual vocabulary of futuristic, yet organic electronics combined with forms of expression, as old as man himself.
		Through it all, Steve Roach deftly brings to life a story of ancestors and heroes, medicine men and ceremonies at dusk, as he reminds us that one day we too will be artifacts in the minds of some future civilization.
		Roach masterfully combined these two aspects of his style on the double album Dreamtime Return, considered by many critics to be a landmark in the new music genre.

	Ambient Masterworks by Steve Roach
		Steve Roach, whose name has long been synonymous with the American ambient electronic movement, is also a musician (or sonic sculptor) with a considerably prolific output.
		One of the sounds employed by Roach (mainly on the second CD) is clearly sourced from the sound of a glass bottle rolling across a concrete surface.
		Although simple in its origins, this sound is subjected to intense and inventive processing, until what you hear is vibrantly ethereal and downright eerie.

		Steve has recorded in many "sub-genres" of electronic music.
		For the last 23 years Steve Roach has been creating some of the most innovative and personal electronic compositions ever to find their way onto vinyl, cassettes and CD's.
		Steve feels that the urge to create his compositions is equivalent to the act of breathing and I'm sure that explains why he has been so prolific over the years and why he has no intention of slowing down in the foreseeable future.

		There's something really beautiful and inspiring to have these boundaries around you to work within and have such an infinite number of combinations to bring out the feeling that I was going for at that time.
		I felt like all of this work, all of the questions I was asking, and all of the answers that I was starting to get - musically and spiritually; in my own dreams and in my own waking moments of the in-betweens -- all of those things were really starting to come together.

	Steve Roach : Now/Traveler - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Now/Traveler is a collection of pieces that find their origins in Steve Roach's earliest recorded works.
		This recording is not as glossy as Steve Roach's later work, but for fans this is a great look into the vintage, pre-digital side of Steve Roach's massive body of work.
		You really hear Steve Roach working with very little technology, compared to his later works, and crafting quite a fascinating recording that was years ahead of it's time; as Now and Traveler were Steve Roach's first recordings, this collection foreshadows the near-infinite creative energy that Steve Roach would use to his benefit in later years.

	MIRAGE AT THE CROSSROADS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Biff Johnson is a musician from Sacramento firmly entrenched in the Steve Roach musical family, creating ambient soundscapes with rainsticks, percussion, synths, and more.
		Again, the primary inspiration here seems to be Roach's music circa Origins or Artifacts, yet Johnson's seems to go one step further with his use of "stones, bones and archaics." Take "Urban Initiation," for example, full of rainsticks and other processed sounds.
		Steve Roach takes a more active role on Mirage, blending in electronics and even harmonica on "A Road from Somewhere." His influence may even be stronger the second time around, but it's not enough to make in the CD a complete clone.

	The Ethereal Electronic Music of Steve Roach, Vidna Obmana, and Kelly David
		While "pure" electronics display an unearthly resonance, in Roach's expert hands the guitar proves itself to be just as capable of filling the air with ethereal sound.
		Where others may be satisfied to compile passages of raw scrapings and dreamy strumming, Roach treats the output of his guitars like an assortment of airborne mists, guiding these sonic vapors into introspective currents whose elegant contortions smoothly traverse space and time to generate a timeless zone of infinite expanse.
		The fusion of Roach's arid ambience and Obmana's echoing caverneque sound creates an interface that merges these contrasting evocations into a realm of unprecedented properties: a subterranean region that possesses an infinite sky, a union of earth and heaven.

		"Origins" is another one of those rare, absolutely treasureable albums that you do not dare sell or remove from your CD collection.
		Released in 1993, it is nothing short of pure musical genius at work--gloriously free of corporate pressures or boundaries: purely harmonious with genuine Aboriginal overtones, deliberate in its intent, flowing, rhythmic, uninhibited by CEO say-so's.

	Fever Dreams by Steve Roach
		Steve Roach is certainly no stranger to these "pages" with a constant flow of albums on various labels in different styles, but always with the same attention to quality and diversity that has made him one of America's pre-eminent electronic musicians.
		The instrumentation used ought to be familiar to those who've been following Roach's travels over the past few years, though it is used to a significantly different effect on this particular album.
		Special praise should go to the creator of the artwork, who manages to portray the strange, colorful, earthly sound environment of the music with the album graphics: a jumble of ancient ruins, natural detritus, swirled and blurry colors.

		Steve Roach, the brilliantly creative Arizona-based electronic composer, is always ready to try new sounds.
		The guitar is used not as a virtuoso or melodic instrument but purely as a sound-source, and it seems to wail and weep, rather than tell stories.
		Yet I have to admit, as a longtime Roach fan I prefer the expansive, upbeat Roach of Light Fantastic far more than this sometimes dreary vision of the darkness over the Western desert.
