The luscious quality and subtle tonal beauty reveal the essence-of-tone of the multi-track master. Originally published on cassette and later in a truncated 2CD edition, Projekt now presents this landmark album as Roach envisioned it.  <\/p>\n<p><BR>Created in respect for silence, <strong>Quiet Music<\/strong> originates from the same era as Roach\u2019s classic 1984 release <B>Structures From Silence<\/B>. The luscious quality and subtle tonal beauty of these albums find the gentle electronics of synthesizers mixing with flute, electric piano and natural sounds flowing like breath, enveloping the listener in a sustained, delicate, translucent atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p><H3><U>Harold Budd, Los Angeles, 1986<\/U>: \u201cI think Steve Roach\u2019s Quiet Music is his best album. It\u2019s not that it\u2019s simply pretty (which it is), but there\u2019s an odd edge lurking in the background that moves it miles away from \u2018New Age\u2019 torpor. This is a lovely album from a composer working at the top of his skills.\u201d<\/h3>\n<p><BR><U>Allmusic.com<\/U>: \u201c<strong>Quiet Music<\/strong> is the essence of pure, meditative ambience. Steve Roach has always been a visionary performer; his work defines \u2018elegant futurism.\u2019 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. He was one of the first to demonstrate that ambient minimalism does not have to be dark, that it can be bright and hopeful without becoming maudlin or too new age. This is groundbreaking space music from an epic and legendary performer. He is peerless in his corner of the perpendicular universe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>Much of this music began as a series of early-\u201980s 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.<\/p>\n<p><BR>The enduring nature of this music is even more significant when placed in the context of the period from which it originated. Listening to the release anew, one senses Roach\u2019s emerging vision of expressing a rarified, tranquil inner experience through sound and music: a vision both emotional and vivid. The soothing, introspective nature of <strong>Quiet Music<\/strong> flows at a time-suspending pace, gently evolving and using space to expand and explore the essence of silence. The space between the notes and the breathing quality brings the listener to a deeper awareness of the present moment.<\/p>\n<p><BR>\u201cIn looking at the arc of my music, 40 years after creating <strong>Quiet Music<\/strong>,\u201d Roach reflects, \u201cI still feel an unbroken connection to this same inner breath and pulse I was discovering within myself and my creative life at that time. Even with everything that was going on in the early \u201980s \u2014 musically, culturally, politically \u2013 this music came to exist in its own dimension, outside of that time, separate from the day-to-day climate in which I was surrounded. I was yearning to express a timeless and universal soul-tone, a safe haven within the music. I had tapped into a reliable way to access this quiet repose at several favorite getaways in nature which was the main influence of this music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR><U>Darren Bergstein, One Thousand Pulses<\/U>: \u201cRoach\u2019s classic minimalist paean of austere beauty is both profound and timeless with its delicately folding textures seemingly minted from the very skeins of heaven itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><BR>A timeless masterpiece. <\/p>\n<h2>PRO263 \u2022 3CD release: 2011<br \/>\nPRO382 \u2022 35th Anniversary remaster 3CD release: April 16, 2021<br \/>\nPRO382-1 \u2022 40th anniversary 3LP release: July 17, 2026<\/h2>\n<div class=\"socials\"><h2>love it, share it<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00382%2F&t=Steve+Roach%3A+Quiet+Music+%2835th+Anniversary+Remastered+3-Hour+Collection%29+%283CD%29\" class=\"socials-small facebook-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Facebook\" >facebook<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00382%2F&text=Steve+Roach%3A+Quiet+Music+%2835th+Anniversary+Remastered+3-Hour+Collection%29+%283CD%29\" class=\"socials-small twitter-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Twitter\" >twitter<\/a>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00382%2F&media=https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-content\/uploads\/PRO00382.jpg&description=+\" class=\"socials-small pinterest-small\"  onclick=\"window.open(this.href); return false;\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Pinterest\" >pinterest<\/a>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projekt.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct%2Fpro00382%2F&title=Steve+Roach%3A+Quiet+Music+%2835th+Anniversary+Remastered+3-Hour+Collection%29+%283CD%29\" class=\"socials-small google-small\"  target=\"_blank\" title=\"Google\" >google<\/a>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=http:\/\/projektrecords.bandcamp.com\/album\/QM35 TARGET=BLANK><IMG SRC=\/store\/assets\/images\/Button-Bandcamp.png width=129><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":22800,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[54,50,49,557],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-22799","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-all","product_cat-ambient","product_cat-electronic","product_cat-steve-roach","pa_artist-steve-roach","pa_format-3-cd-in-6-panel-digipak","pa_label-projekt","pa_release-year-1983-86","first","instock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","border"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/22799","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22799"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22800"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22799"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=22799"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=22799"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.projekt.com\/store\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=22799"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
