about

A dark collection of agitated, sometimes complex, sometimes simple themes that either mix together or struggle in conflict.
Long passages of quiet calm or near silent struggle building towards the lonely frantic stages of an early death in the short life cycle of the adult moth.

This album has been designed to be listened to at a low volume. Some passages are very quiet, but please resist kicking up the volume. Moths are quiet most of the time, so please be respectful.
Best listening is via good quality headphones in a quite place. A garden on a nice sunny, windless day, or a late warm evening gazing up at the night sky, with perhaps a small light to attract some moths.
The levels do rise eventually to fight the inevitable, however it is the silence that finally prevails and takes us all, large or small, great or insignificant.

released August 24, 2016

This album is a collection of experiments in a variety to themes and ideas that began many months ago. Various field recordings in and around Graham's home and recorded while on long walks have also been widely used throughout.
Thanks to 9153 creative for the album artwork and cover concept/design.

THE PASSING
by Steve Roach

supported by 7 fans who also own “MOTH”

...transmuting through gorgeously heartwarming mirages into blissful all-embracing sonic euphoria. It happens again and again with each spin, I am drifting through the emotionally magnified sonic Eden into the resonant silence with goosebumps on my arms... Recorded in the remembrance of lost loved ones, "The Passing" dives into the most intense, yet nectarously sumptuous, harmoniously gratifying and luminously eulogistic zones of heart-rending contemplations ever sculpted by Steve Roach!!!

Fade To Gray
by Steve Roach

supported by 6 fans who also own “MOTH”

You can listen to this as a pleasant wash of background music while you work; as beautiful and as meaningless as sunlight on a painted wall. Or you can focus on it and realise that actually there's a lot going on in the texture and detail of the sound. Steve Roach has made a lot of longform ambient, all of them well worth listening to, but this is one of the very best. A gem from a gem. Wylfryd Smythe

CYRE

The album title stands for “Congratulations You Ruined Everything,” and its songs are tense and unnerving electronic journeys. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 12, 2021

In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020

Moody dark ambient from Dahlia’s Tear, the expansive sounds on “Through the Nightfall Grandeur” are as melancholy as they are unsettling. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 16, 2018
