Steve Roach's Seminal Ambient Album, Structures from Silence at 40
Steve Roach circa 1984 in Original Timeroom
Steve Roach has made over a hundred recordings in the last 42 years, but two of them stand out. One is Dreamtime Return, his first foray into techno-tribal sounds, and the other dates back 40 years to his third album, Structures from Silence. It was an album that took ambient music to the next level, from Brian Eno’s experimental abstractions, to a music forged in a contemplative crucible and born purely of electronic instruments. Originally self-released, then picked up by the Fortuna label, Projekt Records has just put out a deluxe triple CD anniversary edition. We go back in time with Steve Roach to hear about the foundation of Structures from Silence.
