The Lost Pieces

Produced and recorded at the Timeroom-Tucson, Arizona and Los Angeles, California. Sono-Design, Montréal, Québec, March 1993. "THE LOST PIECES in this collection were composed between 1988-1992. Some have appeared on limited edition multi-artist compilations. Others were not created for any particular project. Instead, they documented and somehow externalized moments of personal transition in ways that only music can do. Often I'd loose track of these pieces shortly after they were recorded. Then, months or even years later, I'd be sifting through boxes of tapes (many left unmarked, a bad habit that continues!) looking for something else and would be surprised to rediscover a piece I had composed in a moment of private inspiration. I would feel a strange sense of shifting as the flood of emotions that originally infused the music would be unleashed once again. Now that these lost pieces have been found, for me they take on a new and interesting life altogether, one that was conceived unconsciously in separate yet interconnected stages over several years" - Steve Roach Tracks 5 & 6 originally released on "Inner Landscapes" compilation CD (Clear Productions, 1991). Track 8 originally released on "From Across This Grey Land No. 3" compilation CD (Hyperium/Projekt, 1992). 4-panel booklet.
