Texture Maps: The Lost Pieces Vol.3 (2003) is an album by the Americanambient musicianSteve Roach.

This album is more stylistically coherent than the previous Lost Pieces albums. It consists of subtle, dark, purely electronic textures similar toThe Magnificent Void andMystic Chords & Sacred Spaces.

The first track “Gray and Purple” was recorded in the same week as the track “Looking for Safety” fromDreamtime Return. The track “Artifact Ghost” was used as a background for some of the rhythmic atmospheres onArtifacts andWell 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.
