Texture Maps: The Lost Pieces Vol. 3
Texture Maps: The Lost Pieces Vol.3 (2003) is an album by the American ambient musician Steve Roach.
This album is more stylistically coherent than the previous Lost Pieces albums. It consists of subtle, dark, purely electronic textures similar to The Magnificent Void and Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces.
The first track “Gray and Purple” was recorded in the same week as the track “Looking for Safety” from Dreamtime Return. The track “Artifact Ghost” was used as a background for some of the rhythmic atmospheres on Artifacts and Well of Souls, as well as several live concerts from around that time. Its original 90 minute version was looped at low volume in continuous playback for several days at Roach’s home.

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or pieces:
“Our ego ideal is precious to us because it repairs a loss of our earlier childhood, the loss of our image of self as perfect and whole, the loss of a major portion of our infantile, limitless, ain’t-I-wonderful narcissism which we had to give up in the face of compelling reality. Modified and reshaped into ethical goals and moral standards and a vision of what at our finest we might be, our dream of perfection lives on—our lost narcissism lives on—in our ego ideal.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“O what venerable and reverend creatures did the aged seem! Immortal Cherubims! And young men glittering and sparkling Angels, and maids strange seraphic pieces of life and beauty! Boys and girls tumbling in the street, and playing, were moving jewels. I knew not that they were born or should die; but all things abided eternally as they were in their proper places.”
—Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
