As It Is (2021)

“AS IT IS is a revelatory experience of mystical, captivating electronic music. It travels the soul’s pathway of renewal following the dramatic year we’ve just emerged from. Filled with texture and subtle nuance, this is a spacious album of organic analog electronic music with a breath and heartbeat — a simmering, churning, moving appointment with reality. The album maps a hero’s journey, taking the immersed, active listener out of consensus reality through secluded deeply personal spaces, suspended soundworlds, through tears to eventually emerge revitalized. AS IT IS places the listener in the center of life’s mystery, awe, excitement, pathos, sadness, longing, and power. It delves into joy, ecstasy, solace, peace, and triumph. True art offers honest transformational emotional engagement. AS IT IS takes a bold step deeper into the time — and space — altering realms Steve has pioneered over all these many decades.” (Bandcamp)
