Roach, Steve
The Surface Below - Immersion Six
Brand new album on Steve Roach's own label Timeroom Editions. CD in 4panel Digipak, Limited edition of 300! The Surface Below - Immersion Six embraces the senses within a beautifully expansive long-form 72-minute immersion realm. Designed for infinite playback at various volume levels, "The Surface Below" (the album's sole track) creates intimate physical space, grace and flow. The caress of slowly unfolding cascades of shimmering textures and diaphanous billowing atmospherics makes this the perfect soundworld for immersive listening in one's habitat. It is a gently potent and nurturing environment for creative states, sleeping, reading and other settings where this understated sonic incense can gently hold the space. Steve officially started his Immersion series in 2006. Prior to that, other long-form classics and listener favorites, such as The Dream Circle and Slow Heat, were released in the late 90s. Eventually aspects of this sound were integrated into Steve's IOS "Immersion station" app which remains a popular app for the iPhone. This album was created using hardware-based synths and effects mixed on an analog console at Steve's Baja Arizona Timehouse studio. Immersion Six joins this legacy of masterfully created long-form, time suspending sonic soul nourishment.
