STEVE ROACH - IMMERSION: ONE (PROJEKT) |
| |
There are those who would consider Steve Roach's
"Immersion: One" to be an extended piece of
experimental boredom. It's true that there's no
tradiational song structure here and that if you
randomly skipped through this lengthy work, much of it
would sound, on the surface, the same. But this would
also display a mindset that has no concept of
meditative audio art and which would most likely
eschew most ambient, even more accessible
manifestations. Roach's admittedly experimental number
finds its heart in the sublime; it's about being
meditative, being absorbed, finding a place in which
to dwell for a time. This music is a room, a womb,
even, into which you step for a time (around 73
minutes to be exact). It creates a dark, quiet and
fully engaging place of quiet beauty, a place of
warmth and coldness combined into sublimity with
formidable powers of absorption of the human mind and
soul.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
