| November 15, 2008 | The Foundry label has closed their doors, and we just received the last 25 copies of Zero Point, a unique 2001 collaboration with Vidna Obmana and Steve Roach, Stephen Kent, Robert Rich, Not Breathing, and Thermal. The project was created using a variety of methods and collaborative trajectories by Seofon (a member of Ambient Temple of Imagination) serving as a center-point, coordinating the project.
|
| October 26, 2008 | Photos from "Deep Sky Dreaming" have been posted. Thanks to everyone who made this a memorable event. |
| September 28, 2008 |  Coming late November on Projekt: STREAM OF THOUGHT. This is one of those releases that comes along every now and then where all the elements merge in alignment and a kind of magical sonic-musical alchemy occurs, taking the listening experience to a whole other level — the kind of experience where when it's over, you immediately want to hit Play again.
|
| September 20, 2008 | Steve just completed an informative interview with Bert Strolenberg in the Netherlands for the Sonic Immersion web site.

| July 26, 2008 |  A new 2-CD Collectors Edition of EMPETUS is now available, on sale at a special price of $13.99! Any fan of sequencer-based pieces will not want to miss out on the bonus disc ("The Early Years") with two amazing never-before-released pieces of long-form sequencer bliss recorded circa 1982: "Harmonia Mundi" was recorded live in the L.A.-based Timeroom with Swiss-born electronic musician Thomas Ronkin. At 45 minutes, this is one of the more possessed and intense analog sequencer trance pieces you're likely to hear. "Release" is a 24-minute solo statement of emotion and energy.

| May 26, 2008 | Available online this week only, "Lonely Nights" is a brilliant 30-minute journey on the night travels of Astronomer Brian Skiff, produced for the BBC Radio 4 by Diane Hope and Alan Hall. Steve's music is heard throughout. Self-confessed nocturnal hermit Brian Skiff, discoverer of countless asteroids and a dozen comets, reflects upon the night sky and his isolated working conditions in this impressionistic sound portrait, set against the eerie backdrop of the Arizona mountains. The sounds of the night -- howling coyotes, bugling elks and chorusing frogs -- are interwoven with the heavy machinery of the telescope motors and domes in a richly layered musical mosaic. |
| May 6, 2008 | STEVE ROACH LIVE IN FLAGSTAFF! Tickets are now on sale for Steve's only 2008 performance in the US or beyond.

| March 27, 2008 | THE MEMORY POOL / REVEALING THE SECRET is now sold out. |
| March 16, 2008 |  THE MEMORY POOL / REVEALING THE SECRET – First released as a limited edition of 2000 in 1998, the 3-CD box set ASCENSION OF SHADOWS: MEDITATIONS FOR THE MILLENNIUM quickly sold out, and has remained a highly-desired prize for Roach and Obmana fans. The intentions for creating a place of solace for what the artists were sensing, with the approaching anticipation of the year 2000 and beyond, feels especially potent and nourishing when heard now. SOMEWHERE ELSE, the first disc in the box set was re-released in 2005. The original plan was to release the second and third discs over time, but this plan was altered because of a steady flow of new music that Steve and Projekt wanted to focus upon. Recently, Projekt discovered 80 sets of the original pressing of the second and third discs, "The Memory Pool" and "Revealing the Secret". These are now being presented in a DVD-sized case. There are no plans to bring these back into print after these are gone; this is the final stash! |
| March 2, 2008 | We are excited to present INTO THE INFINITE, the high-standard debut release by ambient-electronic composer and musician Chad Kettering. This awe-inspiring musical journey unveils its emotional depth as the shades of a long lost exotic landscape and the culture it supported are brought to life. Through a refined collection of analog and digital instruments, acoustic elements, and a warmth of sound, this intricate composition is very much alive and present, offering the listener an inspiring view into the infinite. The project was mastered at The Timeroom by Steve Roach. |

| January 3, 2008 | We just unearthed 9 copies of Dreamtime Return on vinyl. This was the original 2 LP release on Fortuna with the deep blue cover. These factory-sealed copies are your last chance to own a true audio artifact! Also, just a few copies of Empetus and Structures From Silence on LP are available, while supplies last.

|
| September 2, 2007 | We are excited to announce the launch of two new releases thru steveroach.com. By early October, two new deep ambient recordings that dwell in the hypnagogic realms will be available from our new steveroach.com label. These two releases were produced and mastered by Steve.
Asunder is the debut release by Nathan Youngblood. Carved from dense harmonically rich acoustic and electronic material, this set of tone zones move at glacial speed, hovering very close to the Earth's surface for the duration. Emotionally contained in a sphere of isolation, the gentle tension effectively holds your interest subliminally, and continues to permeate into your physical and mental environment. Mantle by Brian Parnham plays like a surreal subterranean walkabout within the folds of Utah's alluring slot canyons. Steve Roach commissioned long-time friend and electronic artist Brian Parnham to drop into the deep end of his sound carving skills. The result presents an adroit sound artist coming into full form within this shadowed sonic wonderland of the Earth's inner realms.
Both of these releases are in the final stages of production. Look for an announcement here as soon as they arrive. |

| August 12, 2006 | Steve's music is showcased in this week's episode of Music From the Hearts of Space, titled "Airtribe". The producers write: "Back in 1988, STEVE ROACH followed his intuition into a breakthrough that launched a whole new sub-genre of electronic music. Searching for something less technical and more profound, he took a trip to the Australian outback, where he encountered the primordial artifacts of a 40,000 year old Aboriginal culture. The result was the classic album DREAMTIME RETURN, a fusion of tribal sounds and instruments like the didgeridoo — with electronics, trance percussion, and ambient atmospherics." |
| August 12, 2006 | We have a new "all-star" various artists CD: CHASING THE DAWN: ULTIMA THULE AMBIENT features tracks from Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Thom Brennan, Tim Story, Jeff Greinke, Jim Cole, Kelly David, and more... |

| August 5, 2006 |  The second in an ongoing series of atmospheric zones by master sound painter Steve Roach, IMMERSION: TWO presents a subtle shift from the luminous steady state harmonic current of IMMERSION: ONE. On this 73 minute, longform soundscape, a sinuous weblike mist seems to emanate from the speakers. Mysterious yet calm, this is the perfect sound environment for the deeper hours after midnight, or anytime a quiet, engulfing audio landscape is desired. If Nag Champa or Sandalwood incense has a sound, this might be it. |
