Steve Roach Live at SoundQuest Fest 2021 

It feels lonely sometimes, not having anyone to enjoy this music together with. But seeing you play it actually makes me realize that you're never really alone when you're enjoying someone's art. Thanks Steve, I think you might've been my favourite musician during this past decade.

This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'has anyone got any Roach material' :) Great stuff

I think he's actually controlling the universe with all those knobs and switches! Great music been a fan for many years!

Steve has been one of my very favorite sound artists for a long time. Discovered his music in 1985. I paint. And for me his work simultaneously provides a place apart while settling me calmly within. It’s difficult to describe. But always effortless - and enjoyable, to experience!

Each time he does a show he adds a new room on his house. Little known fact. All of Steve's kitchen appliances have custom built reverbs and are tuned to major chords. Man I miss my Nord Lead.

Great with my first coffee of the day

Steve, not sure if you’ll see this, but your music is something out of this world. It helps me fall asleep or get through my work during the day, you name it. I never experienced anything like this. Just wanted to say thanks for your art that you’re sharing with us to this day! P.s. the new “Reflections in Repose” albums is simply wonderful ❤

What an atmosphere!!!! I want somebody to play like that on the Moog One at my funeral 😍👍

Love your music, recommended by Alex Collier to me. Your music protects my castle so I can sleep! Thank you! ( my space =650 sq ft castle!) 😉 joy!

So great that you are born! Thank you for all your magic sound artworks! You are one of my heros in this live on earth :-)

Thanks for sharing your music Steve!

No words can describe this because Zen.

That as the most Ambient Moog One Patch I have ever heard. Awesome work, Steve.

Been loving this since I discovered Steve is the 1980’s RU-vid allowed me to see this video truly a treat and a work of art! Amazing 🤩

Sweet, now the entire amazing SoundQuest Fest 2021 sound track is available, thanks Steve!! ❤️

Mr. Roach, you never disapoint! Thank you for your music😊

hypnotic all always

outstanding performance! Ambient-Perfection! Thank You so much for this video.

A beautiful finish to the whole festival. What a treat to follow Steve and Serena into the Timeroom and watch the master at work. Thank you, Steve, for making this available to your fans.

I'm completely in love of the first segment with the Moog One. Thank you for this beautiful concert, Steve.

Absolutely brilliant Steve! Thanks so much in what you do to support this wonderful art form!

What a great instrument.And the combination with a great composer.

Thank you Steve for this live stream and all the wonderful music you having been giving us for the last fourty years. Almost everyday I listen to your music, it’s always inspiring!

Good journey space fans...wherever you are.

Oh wow. Beautiful instruments and Master of ambient. I love the live sessions. Thank you so much Steve. I would like to hear The Memory(Empetus) in your concerts.

A house in an electronic cathedral - thank you. The transition at 10:00 was breathtaking - an almost medieval vibe. And, thanks for SoundQuest Fest 2021!

Great performance! So many Nord Leads ❤ My NL2X is my favorite synth ever!

All of it is absolutely stellar, but I LOVE those ambient drums that come in towards the end here. Very engaging!

DA MAN ... DA MYTH ... DA LEGEND ... Steve Roach, with ALL of his WONDROUS devices ... doing SUCH WONDROUS things! LOVIN' IT BEYOND! MANY INFINITE THANKS for SUCH A WONDROUS performance! ALL THE BEST, Ken :-)

Apart congratulations for organize this beatiful event with great musicians that i love ..but , for me your music is really unique, multidimensional..an hipnotic world of sounds...delicious. thanks .

Amazing sounds from the master of ambient music, thanks Steve 🙏🏻

This sounds great and is a treat to listen to - I haven't kept up with Steve's recent work but he still has it, clearly. As a bonus, every move Steve makes is for musical purposes, rather than big "knob twist gesture" often seen in loop twiddlers these days. This is minimalist beauty, unadorned.

Thank you Steve for organizing this "ambient allstars event", it was great seeing you during live sessions. I'll be coming back to these live sets.

Hi Steve, I only recently discovered your music. Why I never heard it before as a big fan of electronic music is beyond me. Anyway, this is fantastic music. Loved every second of it. Thank you!

Thanks Steve for sharing this brief time/audio slice of your monolithic impact on the world of ambient music. 55:38 and on was absolutely genius! This is my 3rd time watching you create your unique soundworlds. It’s definitely not the flash and fire of a typical “concert” so to speak but at my age and in the current clime of global sickness and Putin’s evil war - I relish in this uplifting and inspiring synth music.😎👍🎼🎹

Just like painting with sound. Awesome Steve!

Music of creation... Galactic soundscapes

Every time I listen, many times over the last year or so, I increasingly hear subtle touches and movements, layers. When a piece of music reveals (or incites) more meaning with repeated listens, it’s a testament to the skill of the artist. A beautiful performance Steve - thank you. 🙏🏼

I remember listening to you oh so long ago on Hearts Of Space radio program...... still sounding as beautiful as ever !!!!!!!! Now that I've found this, subbed and notifications on..... just to learn from the giants who go before me..... Thanks !!!!

I may have to look into getting this keyboard! Thank you for posting this. I've listened to your music since the mid 1990's and never tire of it! :-)

Just kicking off the holiday with a nice cigar and a replay of this amazing performance...mesmerizing. Thank you Steve for carrying us thru these uncertain times with a steady flow of incredible live performances, and I eagerly await the next when you have a mind to share with all us dedicated fans. Thank you thank you thank you and be blessed.

Wow, Steve! Just wow!

Such a lovely composition Steve, it definitely is my favorite at SoundQuest Fest 2021, beautifully and delicately performed, delightful harmonies brilliantly interwoven. Always such positive and relaxing experience to watch you live!

Genius is working

Really Good.

Merci Steve pour avoir rendu accessible cet événement révolutionnaire the SOUNDQUEST FEST 2021 c’est le début d’un nouvel aire ... Et de faire connaître tout ces musiciens de génie ... 🌿☘️😁🦋🌲🌵

This is incredible! Sonic wizardry at work 🙏

Beautiful. An incredible three days. Thanks for putting this together.

I found your music way back when I was studying music at uni from 07 - 10......I STILL put on Darkest Before Dawn whenever I need to focus and block out the world and lose track of time

Great mesmerizing ambient music event. Thanks Steve. Would have loved visual screen of camera equiped drone led arial machine flying through the Australian outback for the duration of the concert. It could have been stunningly beautiful with the music progression.

Thank you for this and all the beautiful Fest music. A wonderful gift of hope and renewal as we proceed through these trying times.

Mind-expanding sounds that continue to fascinate and elevate as we journey deep into the vast unknown. Love ya, Steve! You're the best and you never fail to impress and amaze us.

Another brilliant trip thru the great beyond!

Hello from a French fan Steve, 30 years that I hear your music. It soothe me when I feel bad.You are the best ambient composer with Michael Stearns. By the way, talking about synths, do you know the Waldorf Quantum ? It would be a great addition to your gear.

Big time fan of Steve. How did this past me by? Google algorithms have been hiding this bad boy no doubt. Huge likes here. Thanks Steve.

steve roach´s music reminds me how complex and infinity the interestelar space is and somewhere how complex the intelligent life could be

A most excellent set by the incomparable Steve Roach!! Can't wait to the in person concerts next year!

Bravo!

The ambient electric guitar is great

Holy crap Steve's got a Moog One.

Always happy to hear about your continued musical discoveries and designs. Next time I'm in Tucson, It'd be amazing to meet for coffee and waffles.

You are indeed the master. I listen to you work often, but this is truly amazing. The camera setup is outstanding.

MASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beyond Description ! Thanks.

Thank you for your music

It's fun when (not very often!) I can tell what kbd is playing what. As in...the bass is happening via what looks like a hopped-up Minimoog but I think it's something else. Also, something tells me a) you like it loud and b) it's LOUD in there!! much love and respect, George W

Om 🎉grande saund 🎉

Mega celestial ❤

Thank you, Brother... nice journey! Much Love!

Nice performance. Impressive gear.

I guess the Moog One officially qualifies as a space synth now - nice work Steve 👍

Great music. Medicine for the soul. Thank you.

❤

Stunning as always, i have discovered your music in 2017 and it opens so many horizons for me, it is everytime you are going on a different journey, Home Now is my favorite composition by you, thank you so muc Steve

I am a beginning ambient artist and have posted several videos on RU-vid of my compositions. They aren't for sale anywhere and probably won't be. I mostly started this venture because it was a long time dream. When I started all this, I didn't get a very good system, as I later found out. I didn't want to spend a lot of money if my desire to create ambient music was "a failure". I put that in quotes because I discovered that even just trying has been rewarding enough. But initially I didn't know how well I would do, so I purchased a Roland Juno DS-61. All the pieces I've done have been on that keyboard...and in all the sounds I've found on that keyboard, I've yet to find even one that is what I was really looking for. But I had this keyboard, so I did the best I could. So, having decided that I enjoy the process, I'd like to get another keyboard. I see so many in this video and would be years from having that many...but am wanting to get something that can produce that very clean sound...similar to Infinite Shore or Cloud of Knowing. My current system just isn't equipped with the sound engine to produce such sounds. What would be one or two best choices I should look for? I'm still new at this so wouldn't want to spend thousands of dollars if I can help it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. To me, ambient music has always been transcendent...and I have been listening to this type of music [mostly from Steve Roach] for nearly 20 years now and I never tire of it. Old or new. Again, thank you for any assistance. :-)

I love

Great space trip, great performance.

Nice work, Steve. Thank you for always sharing.

Om Shanti 🕉️🎧🎼🎧👍

Musica est via et remedium!! 🙏🏼🌺❤

Super Beautiful Setup and Music 🎶😍

Now why didn't I know about this event last week :( Hi Steve, this is Yuri.......That's quite an impressive inner sanctum you operate from, a long ways from Ivy St, but that was light years ago wasn't it. Nice to see and hear you!

Maravilhoso, beautiful!

So great. What an event!

Wish I could have been there. Awesome.

would love to see a build from scratch of one of your most complex patches on the moog one (i hope i got the name right of the first synth you're playing on). i'm a soft synth guy: omnisphere (a rompler more than a synth, some say, and i might be inclined to agree), absynth, vital (in which i DO NOT use wavetables) - but i would still enjoy seeing your hardware synth sound design in action. then again, the nuts and bolts of your patches may be closely guarded secrets. in any case, frickin beautiful sounds. also the sound at around 11:10... major awesome. i imagine you tweaking and refining these sounds over several weeks - even months - during production

Majestic!

steve thank u so very very much for the birthday wishes from you and linda this was an amazing concert everyone deserves kudos thank u for making me feel welcomed and i surely enjoyed this u are awesome friend keeep it up

16:58 the beat drops!! so good, Steve.

Samurai

Fantastic performance

Maestro.

Muito lindo, show espetacular.

This is amazing

Duely noted...

Thank you Steve for all your sound artistry over the years. It's truly peaceful work and keeps me grounded. How'd you monitor your playing in this video? Your sliders and attention to detail surely required either headphones or a very loud set of clear monitors, no?

Man oh man I have GOT to get a Moog One!

👏👏👍

so cool. def new to have a mono synth in the peformance, afaik. still not really used to it but it sounds great.

AWESOME sequencer part! I love the sound around 43:50! How many different sequences are running for this piece? Thanks so much for all your hard work and great music!
