For Steve Roberts, encounters with the environment are
miraculous and reverential experiences. That is how it comes
across in his music. Working under the name Amongst
Myselves Roberts has produced an impressive body of work, not
in a single style but more as an encompassing vision seeking to
bring creation back into modern existence. Centered on the
infinitely faceted theme of nature, his CD AUBURN SILHOUETTE
(62'00") presents nine tracks with a clear source. Roberts covers
a wide sonic territory. From luminescent beauty to anonymous
landscapes, this episodic album offers edge to edge motion.
Throughout AUBURN SILHOUETTE churning synth drones
lighten then darken against rumbling field recordings as delicate
electronic whispers stir soft chimes to sound. While guitar
effects echo distantly beneath string pads and bubbling
modulations, a building dissonance remotely threatens. But this
music is more than the sum of its sounds. His music offers
relief from the misperception that all electronic music is
emotionally cold. Roberts' rhythmless soundscapes
communicate his sensibility and passion as well as more
conventional works and established methods.

SILHOUETTE, by Amongst Myselves
