Steve Roach Biography (1797 words)
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 (9568 words)
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.
