Steve Roach - Subtle Twist Of Fate (2022)

This June 2022 Exclusive release travels across a wide range of dynamic terrains and eras. We start with the opening piece that was featured on the 2022 compilation 'Tone Science 6' on Ian Boddy's DIN label.

Reflecting Room references the Reflecting Chamber from the 1999 Light Fantastic. The original harmonic drone was created the on Oberheim Xpander, this version for potential live use was created around 2015 on a Sequential Prophet 6, for the interest of the gear heads out there.

The ultra deep live improv, 'Night Vision' if from several years ago, recorded with longtime Tucson friends, collaborators and Soundquest crew brothers Nathan Youngblood and Will Merkle.

We conclude with a recently discovered 24 min version of 'Subtle Twist of Fate' that was recorded as part of a video special from the 2014 'Skeleton Keys'. This extended version has a gentle feeling contained within that speaks volumes to the subtle, delicate emotion that analog modular synthesis offers so beautifully.

I always aim to make an engaging listening experience with the flow and sequence of pieces and hope you enjoy!

All my best!
Steve
