Any Steve Roach fans here? I saw him in concert last night.

Wow!

Mind. Blown.

It was an amazing experience! Just one guy on stage with mounds of equipment took me on a journey into inner and outer worlds.
It really was trippy yet thoughtful and beautiful.

If you like ambient/tech/world/trance music, you do not want to miss him!

He's been nominated for a Grammy twice, but hasn't won. Can't imagine why!

1. I saw him once many years ago.

I don't recall when, but I attended with members of Majale, and Vir Unis. I think it was in Milwaukee.

2. Cool!! Are you a musician yourself?

I'm not (well, I play the piano and guitar, both poorly), but I'm a huge music fan!!

3. A closet guitar player.

The internet and politics has derailed me. I used to play/practice a few hours a day. But I 'm reduced to a few hours a month. Shame on me.

By brother is a classically trained guitarist with a masters from Northwestern. Undergrad at DePaul.

He is teaching now and does classical gigs.

4. Neat! I love classical guitar. n/t

5. Dreamtime Return and Structures from Silence play often in our house!

Lucky you to see him!

Now you must check out A Winged Victory for the Sullen - particularly their most recent, The Undivided Five

6. Thanks! Will do!!

7. I discovered him through Projekt Records.

I don’t suppose I’m a dedicated fan or whatever, but I do genuinely enjoy what I’ve heard.

8. Oh, I just got back from meeting him / watching him do a speech & demo

I'm a total fangirl now!

What an amazing guy!
For the demonstration he did a lot of playing and composing, so it was like a concert with detailed notes and explanation.

He went through and explained all his equipment (most went over my head) and how he uses it for recording and performance.

For his live performances he does everything by hand and composes, records, and loops on the spot based on how he's feeling and how the audience is responding.

Last night's performance ran long (we were told it would be 90 minutes and he played two hours) because he said he felt the energy and he kept being inspired by new ideas and just went with it.

Golly, now I'm wishing I'd bought more of his CDs last night after the concert. He wasn't selling them today.
He was selling his whole catalog (which is huge) for $10 a disc.

I'm kicking myself...but fortunately he has a website....

9. Projekt is having a sale

with a number of his CDs on sale for $5-$10.

Organization is a little helter-skelter on their site so you’ll need to scroll through his catalog to find the deep discounts but there looks to be a bumper crop of deals available. Projekt Records is a one-man show that has been working with Steve Roach and his collaborators forever, and the number of discs available is amazing.

10. Cool! I'm off to check it out right now!!

Thanks!!
