Steve Roach is an absolute master of his craft. Once in a century talent for sound design and creating an atmosphere that is the perfect soundtrack for the birth of the universe...the death of consciousness....planets no human will ever see....the birth of a star....the memories of a dying species...
This is definitely one of his best. For me it evokes a very late night - or early morning - subway ride through the city on an empty train. The last train of the night.
"At the age of nineteen, Steve Roach experienced a life-threatening motorcycle accident out alone in the desert. It took hours for an ambulance to pick him up. During the time he was lying there by the wayside, his body bruised and broken, he was put in touch with death. There was a taste of its grasp, his field of vision widely expanded yet blurry, all colours replaced by a ghostly white. Time took on a different meaning, the digits of the clock speeding up, slowing down and occasionally coming to a full stop. All around him, there was sound, a visceral noise putting him in touch with his true self. He’d seen these fields of his inner world stretch out in front of him before. But for the first time, perhaps, it became clear to him that it was through creating music, rather than the rush of racing or his active attention as a serious listener, that he could briefly capture it and feel its presence most clearly. When he opened his eyes again in the hospital, he wasn’t merely regaining his consciousness - he was waking up to a new life."
Last night the moon was full -- I could see it through the trees. For a moment I thought of all the times I'd seen something like this. Each one similar in appearance and feeling, but this was the first time I realized that my entire life was punctuated by this repeating lunar event. Time passing... and at some point so will I. But the moon will still be there... for others to see.
My own thoughts are much like these, and I truly believe that I will miss the Moon in any next existence more than anything else. Her serene and gentle nature gives us Light without heat; a calming combination. . . .
Hmmm....something foreboding about this one. Someone further down mentions evocation of loss and pain. I guess I'm feeling more the "end" part, rather than the "beginning".... I guess that's part of the deal, though...life, that is. Still, not my favorite. Sorry, Steve....
Probably my favorite song ever created... Steve... if you see this I just want to say thank you so much for your life changing music..
