The Magnificent Void

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Magnificent Void (1996) is an album by the American ambient musician Steve Roach. This album is based on the psychological concept that a void, while a state of complete non-existence, can be perceived as all existence in a potential form.

The music on this album is dark, expansive, pure electronic textures, ending in an intense chord progression titled “Altus”.

Altus is a word from Latin meaning both “high” and “deep”.
