Steve Roach & Robert Logan - Biosonic (CD)

Release Date: 04/29/16

Elegant futurism. Electro-neural atmosphere of bio-electrical rhythms mixed with deep drifting textural magnetism.

Pushing the boundaries of perception-expanding music, Roach and Logan release two vastly different transmissions of powerful emotion and exploration.Biosonic’s elegant futurism and Second Nature’s romantic minimalism are distinct yet linked through a passion for engaging, subtle body-mind states. The former’s darkly ecstatic, deeply-layered, electro-neural atmosphere contrasts with the latter’s nuanced, sparse, ambient-atmospherics and processed-piano tone paintings.

Biosonic’s labyrinth of bio-electrical rhythmic pieces mixes with passages of deep drifting textural magnetism. Tracks possessed with intense fire and driving dynamism push down to the molecular level, while entrancing groovescapes inhabit new textural worlds of mind-expanding power. The music’s intention is ecstasy and intensity – like the frenzied rush of red blood cells, nerve impulses or the firing of pistons – such tendencies are balanced by an undercurrent of tranquility and yearning.

Logan and Roach describe the work, “Biosonicexpresses a kinetic energy that drives the imagination channeled through the tools of hypersonic creation. The expressions rise up from the unconscious; the bio/machine-theme mushrooms outwards in this sonic fantasy. It emerges from the pulses and rhythms of the body while also diving consciously into expressing fractalized patterns which find parallel in the natural world, the universe and beyond. This is a vivid dream world for the bio-mechanical era where the lines between human and machine dissolve and reach moments of peak perception.”

Biosonic and Second Natureare two powerful, distinct yet interconnected releases. While in dramatic contrast to each other, the potency of the music on these releases is a testament to the agility that exists between these two artists opening to a vast and fascinating world of Biosonics: body, mind and heart sound art for TODAY.
