Steve Roach: Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces – part 2 (2CD)

Product Description

This is Part Two, containing Disc 3 + Disc 4

Released in 2003 as a limited edition available only from Steve Roach & Projekt’s website, Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces – part 2 serves as a continuation of the highly successful Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces – part 1. Part 2 features two discs of all new material; it is not a remix. Now – for the first time – retail customers can continue their exploration into the majestic realm of pure, non-rhythmic electro-acoustic soundworlds.

“…the high frontier between deep listening music and the spirituality of pure sound.” – Stephen Hill, Hearts of Space radio

A cinematic epic for the ears, part 2 of Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces builds upon the swirling currents and massive harmonic landscapes established on part 1. On the first disc of part 2 (titled “Recent Future”), Roach creates a state of constant becoming: soundscapes shift and morph in perpetual motion as one space dissolves away only to reveal the next compelling place. This realm of unresolved, suspended beauty reaches a high plateau setting the stage for the final disc’s departure into a single long form track, perfectly titled “Piece of Infinity. ” The serene, mysterious atmosphere of the 74-minute space completes the tour de force Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces.

“Abandoning all conventional notions of music as melody, harmony and rhythm, Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces allows the listener blissful hours on the high frontier between deep listening music and the spirituality of pure sound.” – Stephen Hill, Hearts of Space Radio

Moving into the majestic realm of pure, non-rhythmic electro-acoustic soundworlds, Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces is a stunning 2-CD release marking a new milestone in Roach’s history as a true artist of sound. His landmark statements – including Dreamtime Return, Magnificent Void and Structures from Silence – are all parts of the uninterrupted flow building to this release. After a recent run of rhythmically fused CDs, Roach moves into awe-inspiring sonic immersion, delving into a spiritual dimension of sound. Nearly 5 years in the making, this release offers a listening experience beyond entertainment and pop culture appeals, creating a new sense of ‘ambient orchestration’ through a constantly shifting flow of sounds and textures that enters a sacred realm of music.
