about

A beautiful, deeply coloured sunset unleashes the power of the night.
Almost an hour of continuous mesmerising ambient music.

The music is created by many layers (in this case, twenty layers) of electric guitar played with ebow. Each layer plays in a loop that swirls around in space. Each loop is a different length, so the music, while it never changes drastically, is never quite the same for the whole album.

The sound washes over you. Layers of guitars somehow start to sound like a heavenly choir in a thunder storm.

The title, The Magic Chord, is a reference to composer La Monte Young. The idea of recreating this magic chord, while not the end result of what I do, is the original inspiration for this project.

What Remains
by Steve Roach

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Magic Chord”

If I wanted to point someone to Steve Roach's music, I'd start them here. This record spans some of Roach's signature styles, like the percolating synths in "Currents of Compassion", the dreamy abstraction of "Prometheus Passage", the tribal rhythms of "The Gone Place", and the elegiac majesty of "What Remains". It's stunning all around and guaranteed to make any day better. fyeahmetal
