Suspended Memories

**Suspended Memories** was a groundbreaking collaboration between ambient pioneer Steve Roach, Mexican sonic alchemist Jorge Reyes, and Spanish experimentalist Suso Saiz. Active in the 1990s, the trio wove together trance-inducing electronic textures, indigenous instrumentation, and meditative atmospheres to create a borderless sound that felt both ancient and futuristic. Their work — including releases like *Forgotten Gods* (1993) and *Earth Island* (1994) — blurred the lines between ambient, world music, and ritual soundscapes, often incorporating pre-Hispanic flutes, tribal percussion, and dense synthesizer layers. Though Reyes passed away in 2009, their immersive collaborations remain celebrated for their hypnotic fusion of global traditions and avant-garde electronic exploration.
