Experience a transcendent fusion of ancient and contemporary sacred sound.
Nectar Meditation marks the debut collaboration between ambient pioneer Steve Roach and multi-instrumentalist Serena Gabriel. This immersive 74-minute "sonic elixir" is designed as a continuous balm for the body and soul, blending acoustic instrumentation of ancient origins with cutting-edge analog synthesis.
The album features a masterful interplay between Gabriel’s diaphanous harmonium, wordless vocals, and temple bells, and Roach’s iconic Oberheim analog synth palette and Solina string ensemble. The journey is further enhanced by guest Byron Metcalf, whose "pachyderm-paced" mantra drumming provides a grounding rhythmic foundation to the shimmering, revelatory drones.
