Quiet Music (35 Th Anniversary Remastered CD
Quiet Music (35 Th Anniversary Remastered CD
Created in respect for silence, Quiet Music originates from the same era as Roach’s classic 1984 release Structures From Silence. This album finds the gentle synthesizer electronics mixing with flute, electric piano and natural sounds flowing like breath, enveloping the listener in a sustained, delicate, translucent atmosphere.
Harold Budd, Los Angeles, 1986: “I think Steve Roach’s Quiet Music is his best album. It’s not that it’s simply pretty (which it is), but there’s an odd edge lurking in the background that moves it miles away from ‘New Age’ torpor. This is a lovely album from a composer working at the top of his skills.”
Allmusic.com: “Quiet Music is the essence of pure, meditative ambience. Steve Roach has always been a visionary performer; his work defines ‘elegant futurism.’ He released these on cassette in 1986, and it remains in the forefront of introspective minimalism. This series set the stage for all minimalists to follow. This is groundbreaking space music from an epic and legendary performer. He is peerless in his corner of the perpendicular universe.”
Much of this music began as a series of early-’80s recordings commissioned by healing-arts programs and later used for everything from personal meditation to birthing music. Today these pieces stand as a cornerstone in body-work, yoga, and healing therapies.
A timeless masterpiece.
