Steve Roach

I'll go through the week and, you know, like I took this trip about a month ago to Arizona to practice.

attend a music festival organized by this composer, Steve Roach, that I've been incredibly blessed to get to be connected with.

And he's amazingly granted me permission, rights to use his music in this project.

And when I was there, I thought I would go to the gym facility, you know, get a workout in.

There's a commonality to the shape of the stone.

which i thought was incredible when you're covering a an area of what 1500 miles from just portugal to scotland so how did it come up with the same shapes the same idea was it because a shape was important to the actual function so that's what helped me to do it but the story is very melancholic it's like we have these groups of people that for several thousands of years maintained a a coherent society because of these monuments and suddenly boom they're gone they've vanished into thin air so there's a certain melancholy about the whole story and i thought in black and white and i got um two pieces of music which i've always wanted to use and they gave me permission once i showed them what the project was about it was um steve roach He's been doing incredible music since the 90s.

I said, Steve, I can't afford to pay you, but you'll be paid a royalty depending on how many people use it.

You'll get more money than I could ever afford you.
