Struggling as a “high-sensitive” from childhood, Grammy-nominated musician Steve Roach found peace in the desert and takes the qualities of the desert—stark beauty, contrasts, silences, heat, and the palpable presence of suspended time—and turns it into a creative compass for his life and music. He has released nearly 300 albums since 1979, making him an Arizona treasure and one of the most prolific and significant cultural figures of the American school of electronic/ambient music scene.
