"The Magnificent Void" (1996) is an album by the American ambient musician Steve Roach. This album is based on the psychological concept that a void, while a state of complete non-existence, can be perceived as all existence in a potential form.

The music on this album is dark, expansive, pure electronic textures, ending in an intense chord progression titled “Altus”.

Altus is a word from Latin meaning both “high” and “deep”.
