CD DetailsSynopsis
Product Description Nada Terma merges the boundaries of ambient, world music and sacred-meditative styles. On Nada Terma (translated as discovering spiritual treasures through the world of sound ) East Indian tonalities blend with Sufi-like trance percussion immersed in atmospheres, drifts and drones, arriving at a state of relaxed, focused awareness. The continuously-woven 73-minute piece is sequenced into seven discrete segments, perfect for yoga, contemplation and bodywork. Following upon the groundbreaking work of 2006 s Mantram, Nada Terma is the second Projekt collaboration between Arizona s Steve Roach and Byron Metcalf with Germany s Mark Seelig. On Nada Terma they reach deeper into the mystical / spiritual realm, presenting a blend of diverse worlds skillfully combined in an organic fashion. Deep-trance frame drums, clay pots and percussion meet with harmonic overtone vocals (akin to Tuvan throat singers) and the yearning sounds of the stringed Indian Dilruba, and East Indian bansuri flute, bringing a melodic and spiritual-contemplative highlight to the release. All of this exists within an enigmatic world of shadow and shifting light developed by way of artful enhancements and processing of the acoustic instruments. These complements are part of a constant, slowly breathing subtext of drones and atmospheres in which the entire experience lives. Nada Terma will appeal to any listener looking for extended states of awareness, creative enhancement, yoga, bodywork, and deep listening. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsMoving..... somewhere Inayat2012 youtube | USA | 05/15/2009 (3 out of 5 stars) "I really like Steve Roaches music. His works like Slow Heat, the Dream Circle, along with Future Tribe, First Light (from Immersion Three), and Slow Dissolve, form the core of my musical experience.
But over the years I've had to get used to the fact that Steve makes music for Steve and often his directions are more miss than hit for me. Nada Terma is in the near miss category. Overall the work takes too long to unfold. My views are either get us into the gentle ambient trance zone and let us work our own magic, OR mix it up fairly quick and take us for a ride. Nada Terma falls into the middle here, missing the sweet energy spot, and sounding like it is having trouble getting into gear. Having been around alot of Middle Eastern and Sufi music I can hear those influences wanting to come out but just not coalescing here. And with Steve's work when there is a miss personally I don't feel like I need to listen to it more than once (Mystic Chords and Sacred Spaces was that way also). But it is worth listening to once. Start by listening to the samples here or on Steve's website. It does not really get cooking much beyond what you hear in the samples. Personally I'd rather see Steve paint himself with ochre and slip back into his aboriginal roots whether those are from the desert Southwest and/or Australia. There is a rhythm from those cultures that encodes a particular consciousness which carries the archaic revival of shamanistic magic aloft. It's been awhile since we've had that from Steve. His forays into orchestral works such as Mystic Chords Sacred Spaces and Dynamic Stillness remind me too much of electronica. I'd rather be grunting down with the shamans throwing the bones. I must say I am pleasantly suprised to have discovered the music of Max Corbacho. His music is very similar to Steve's best. If you like Steve and have not heard of Max Corbacho then you deserve it to check him out." |
