Steve Roach CD of the Month & Ambiences in Black
Take a trip into sequencer delirium with our February CD of the Month, The Desert Winds of Change by Steve Roach. It is a non-stop journey of synchronized patterns and soaring melodies, all played live. John Diliberto is mesmerized with Steve Roach’s The Desert Winds of Change, the February CD of the Month on Echoes from PRX.
It’s Ambiences in Black when we turn the Echoes prism onto the African and black influences in ambient music because black and white is not a cultural divide we want to promote anywhere, let alone music. But with all the Germans, Scandinavians, British and white Americans you hear on the show you might not see or hear the rich traditions of Black art not just underlying much of the music but often very much in the clear. But they are in the clear on Ambiences in Black, Black History Month has never sounded like this!
