This was directly translated into the title track - playing with breath, the place in between the breath, the sigh. So my entire waking and sleeping focus was to deepen this connection to the essence of sound, body and breath awareness.

With synthesisers as the new instrument emerging in the 80's it was clear to me that you could almost stop breathing, lose the body connection as part of the instrument interaction, sit sprawled out in a chair and still manage to play the instrument. Traditional instruments draw from the physical body's interaction. 'With an an acoustic instrument you have to be 100% there to make a sound. Some of this was because the 'New Age' movement from the US was generally associated with spirituality and healing, of which the commercial aspect (ironically) obscured the fact that there was an ambient music scene existing next to that.ДЄ reissue has been released which featured different recording and mastering: and mainland Europe, the music from this ambient music scene never really gained the popularity it did as in the States, that is, until the internet, when the album was picked up again, elsewhere. However, although 'Structures from Silence' was well recieved in the U.K. 'Structures from Silence' really got the attention of a lot of people in the US, many regard it as a milestone in electronic music after Brian Eno. Which is what I think is the best quality of this non-invasive, less melodic, more textural kind of art form вЂ“ itвЂ™s so abundant everywhere, but I think itвЂ™s so great, because itвЂ™s so supportive of what we need today.вЂќ It was really creating your own zone to inhabit and support and keep the sounds of the outer outside world at bay.

вЂњIn its most pure form, Structures was created as a space for me to inhabit and create this sanctuary in the middle of all the energy of L.A. and the Hollywood machine in a 2014 interview. Steve said that the inspiration came from the nighttime L.A. Just sitting in perfect stillness and playing that through the analog warmth of the Oberheim OB8 synth. This was directly translated into the title track on 'Structures From Slience' playing with breath, the place in between the breath, the sigh. My way was to be fully engaged in where the body feels connected to the Synths: You instill breath in the sounds as you play, connect at a deep physical, mental level. With an an acoustic instrument you have to be 100% there to make a sound. Spanning into the eightties, this scene was blossoming with creative talent. It was run since it's inception in 1973 by sound designer Stephen Hill and Anna Turner. The radioshow Music From The Hearts Of Space was an important factor in this movement. In the seventies on the west coast of the USA, were Steve lived, ambient music became more popular.

The track 'Reflector' marks the first exploration of building compositions more focussed on harmonies. Steve's first released compositions like 'Now' and 'Traveler', can be described as sequencer heavy, like the music the musicians from the ' Berlin School' made. It also was then, that he started sending cassettes with his work to close friends. The Synthi A's in this photo of the first Timeroom were on loan from a friend.ДЎ978 marks the date of his first concert in the 'liquorice Pizza' recordstore in L.A., and became part of that generation of performing musicians. Many things were pointing to music and art as his future and these tragic events prompted him to make a radical life descision: He was moved by the cosmic music of Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream and other music from the emerging electronic music scene from Germany, then sold a lot of personal things to fund his first instruments the Arp 2600 and Sequencer, a Micro Moog, Solina String Machine, and a Roland Space Echo. In 1975 Steve lost two of his motocross friends in racing accidents, then had a tramatic accident himself. For our next guest we welcome Steve Roach, the pioneer of ambient-atmospheric electronic music, to the boards.ДЄs an introduction, here's a (limited) summary of his long spanning carreer as composer-musician, you can check out (most of) his releases here and here.
