Steve Pacheco is a Los Angeles based sound / visual artist and graphic designer. His earliest sonic influence was classical music played through a transistor radio. This lo-fi sound found its way into his current work through the usage of simple melodic loops processed to create warm, hazy, atmospheric soundscapes. His aim is to recall memory / experience / emotion through the language of this weathered aesthetic.

He released his debut album, Constellate, on Belgian label Dauw in May of 2017. Shortly after, his second album, The 4th, was released on UK based Whitelabrecs. He has also released compilation tracks and remixes for various labels such as Dragons Eye Recordings, Archives, Home Normal, Dauw & Eilean Recs, El Muelle Records, and Nova Fund Recordings.

The catalyst behind “Fades” is the pondering of the many chapters in our lives. The ways beginnings and endings bookend those chapters, and are a part of every single aspect of being. Where this album differs from previous efforts is that there is no singular narrative or theme being explored. Instead, it is more of a random collection of experiences representing various times in my life. The focus is not on the details of those individual memories or times, but the transitions or “fades” in between.

Fades

Steve Pacheco - Elapse

Wide starry nights, icy cold, snow storms and crackling footsteps.. Shining eyes. Frozen pods and beards and flickering northern lights..

Part of the piece - 2 Kinetic studies, made during the residency at the Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest in 2016: https://soundcloud.com/svetlanamaras/sets/2-kinetic-studies

Study no.1 is guided by the principle of symmetry. The central spot of the composition is in the middle of the room - half the way on both horizontal X- and Z-axis. Each object always moves through both halves of at least one of the X- or Z-planes. The element which is being doubled, is followed by the same-pace movement of the element on the opposite side of the axis, but the movement is being reversed: element no.6 positioned on Z-4 goes from X-5 to X+5 while at the same time in the same speed element no.7 at Z+4 goes from X+5 to X-5. 
There are three elements which are the musical nucleus of the composition (1, 2, 3). These sounds are airy (noisy) but they have a recognisable pitch and form a minor triad. All other elements are tuned to these three elements which define the tonal center of the piece. This kind of interpretation of the harmonic aspect of the composition, parallels the interpretation of ‘symmetrical’ in spatial domain. 

This is a stereo mixdown of the piece.
