Description:
'On This Planet' is a studio re-creation of the 'live experience’ at its peak. Not a conventional 'live recording', not even 'live in the studio', but a new category of concert album by dark ambient soundscape explorer Steve Roach.
Roach took a year’s worth of concerts to test and perfect the elements of his epic two hour live show, then returned to his studio and refined his most powerful material into this brim-full CD.
Electric with the on-the-edge atmosphere and energy of the live moment, it’s as close as you can get to the intensity of a Steve Roach performance in your own space.
Biography:
Steve Roach is recognized worldwide as one of the leading innovators in contemporary electronic music. His range of musical expression runs the gamut from the introspective soundscapes of Structures from Silence and Quiet Music (Complete Edition) to the explosive sequencer music of Empetus. 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.
