The Delicate Forever

Steve Roach’s new studio release, The Delicate Forever, presents a reverie of gentle and etheric ambient sound meditations that awaken complex and resonant states of emotional and psychological perspectives. The nuanced, minimal electronics interplay with a masterful use of musical space, breath, silence, and rich textural colors in a subtle dynamic flow. Nurturing the senses in inexplicable ways, these sound paintings become an evocative environment for activating a state of rarefied reflections.

Roach reflects, "After placing such detailed focus on the Structures From Silence remaster, along with the new pieces on the second and third disc, I was taken through the eye of the needle in many ways. This new sense in my fingertips awoke when using the analog instruments, giving way to a new level of subtle, delicate sonic shifts of harmonic texture and form. At the same time, a kind of hearing through an 'inner' ear seemed to occur. A reaching towards new tonalities and colors became my obsession: making this conscious is where I am living now, day and night. The 'forever' is directly connected to the underlying current of life - mortality. The Delicate Forever maps out a new phase in my current work, reaching further towards a deeper ineffable experience.
