about

"Eleven virtues" is an idea, a collection of primarily knightly virtues from the late Middle Ages, which I intuitively assigned to these pieces. I chose these virtues because I liked them best; Especially in comparison with the cardinal virtues, the Prussian virtues etc.

Of course, opinions on the "most important" and contemporary virtues diverge. Accordingly, of course, every listener has their own scope to discover this for themselves here as well.

The order of the individual pieces and their titles is not to be understood as an increase in the virtues to be acquired, but rather intuitive and arbitrary. The recordings were made "live at home" in a continuous session.

AS IT IS
by Steve Roach

supported by 16 fans who also own “(2020) Eleven virtues”

Normally I go to Steve Roach albums to experience time less linearly, so to speak, but here we have an album that's structured almost like a conventional one, with tracks that are distinct from each other. We get pure ambience, gentle tribal rhythms, and glimpses of piano, all building towards a breathtaking final pair of tracks in which Roach sets aloft a full-throated melodicism that's new to me in his oeuvre. fyeahmetal
