Immersion : Three

This is the third Immersion release in 2007 on Projekt. It was released as a 3-CD set of (at the time) all new material. IE: It is not the same as what was on immersion : one or two. 222 minutes. Focusing on ambient “zones” created as tone meditations for the living space, immersion : three is a stunning release in the long-form ambient genre. With one composition per disc, the nearly 4 hours of all-new material on immersion : three display Steve’s quiet mastery of immersive ambient soundworlds. Gently effective at low volume, the non-dynamic nature of these spaces supports focused day and night activities. Minimal in nature and sonically uninterrupted for 74 minutes per disc, these pieces bring Steve’s years as a sound painter of deep subtle spaces to a rarified point in time. immersion : three is perfect for creative states, sleeping, reading, long hours at the computer and other functions where traditional music could be considered invasive. This release is especially effective in dissolving the sense of linear time. “Steve Roach continues to make a rarefied sound as the Mark Rothko of electronic music.” — John Diliberto, Echoes Syndicated Radio

The next release in this particular series of Steve Roach recordings counts as one of his most ambitious -- not only is it the third volume, but it's a three-disc effort, with each composition running nearly the length of a CD, for a total of almost four hours of music.
