"Second Nature" is a captivating collaboration between the renowned ambient pioneer Steve Roach and the talented Robert Logan, released on April 29, 2016, under the Projekt label. This album is a mesmerizing journey through the realms of space music, ambient, drone, dark ambient, and new age, spanning a total duration of 1 hour and 11 minutes.
The album comprises four immersive tracks: "Moment's Notice," "Second Nature," "Shadowspeak," and "Mystic Drift." Each piece is a testament to the intuitive and spontaneous creative process that Roach and Logan embarked on, resulting in a work that feels both organic and deeply meditative. Roach describes "Second Nature" as emerging directly from instinct, a call and response to the moment between two artists, which is evident in the album's fluid and evolving soundscapes.
"Second Nature" serves as a serene counterpoint to the turbulence of their previous work, "Biosonic," offering a more intimate and contemplative experience. The album transcends the boundaries of traditional ambient music, inviting the listener to explore the depths of Steve Roach's enchanting universe. Whether you're a long-time fan of ambient music or a newcomer looking to dive into the genre, "Second Nature" promises a rich and rewarding listening experience.
