Nightbloom is the profound fifth collaboration between ambient pioneer Steve Roach and shamanic practitioner/musician Mark Seelig. Released in 2010 on the Projekt label, this 73-minute masterpiece is a dark, ritualistic journey through five seamless parts, blending organic spirit-singing with cutting-edge electronic soundscapes.
The album is characterized by Seelig’s haunting Tuva-style overtone singing and throat vocals, which intertwine perfectly with Roach’s signature "terra grooves" and expansive synthesizer pads. Moving with a serpentine grace, the music evolves from deep, ruminative atmospheres into restless, slow-pulsing grooves and primordial drumming patterns. Recorded at the Timeroom, the production offers a dimensional depth that invites the listener into a "hypnagogic" state of active meditation.
