Steve says: “These 60 minutes of live electronic/ambient music were inspired by cosmic metal
band Blood Incantation’s invitation to cross the bridge of genre limitations and unleash our sonic
passions together on the same stage for the premiere of their new album; it was an opportunity
to present my music to a new audience.
The set was built from elements of my 2024 US tour performed in large cathedrals and churches,
compressing it into a hyperblending of constant shapeshifting.; from mystical deep ambience, to
multilayered sequencer-woven trance, to tribal and acoustic-infused dreamtime realms.”

DECIBEL magazine’s Cosmo Lee writes,
“This is beyond perfect! Metal band with mystical leanings befriends their synth spirit animal.
Mystical friends play together in a mystical town literally a mile high. One of them is named Roach.
Roach is a giant in new age/ambient music. I own 25 of his albums. I was curious how a 69-year-
old with keyboards would come off live. He turned the theater into a cathedral. Serene desert
sounds gave way to classic prog synths, then gentle tribal rhythms, then transcendental space.
The rousing response afterwards seemed to genuinely surprise him.”

Steve again:
“The moment I walked out on stage, I could feel the energy unleashing on all levels. An emotional
sense of crossing into a hyper present state of focus – the place I love so much about the live ex-
perience. As the set unfolded, the response of the audience became fuel for the moment.
It’s all here on this live recording like no other in my catalog as we cross the bridge together!”
