About Steve Roach
Steve Roach is an American ambient and electronic musician born in La Mesa, California, in 1955. He began creating electronic music in the late 1970s, after earlier activity in motocross, and released his first solo album, “Now”, in 1982. His early work developed around synthesizers, extended sound forms and live performance methods.
Roach released “Structures from Silence” in 1984. A cassette run of the album reached Stephen Hill, who played it on the Hearts of Space radio programme on KCRW. In 1986, Roach released the “Quiet Music” series. In 1988, he released the double album “Dreamtime Return”. His work also moved into tribal-ambient forms, including didgeridoo use after travels in Australia and experimentations with Prehispanic musical elements through Jorge Reyes.
Roach moved to the Sonoran Desert near Tucson in the early 1990s. In 1995, he signed with Projekt Records, which later became his primary label. His releases includes “The Magnificent Void”, “Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces”, “Spiral Revelation”, “Molecules of Motion”, “Bloom Ascension”, “Rest of Life”, and multiple live recordings. Roach so far released over 150 albums.
“La Rosa – Live in Tucson, 2025” is his latest release with a two-hour performance recorded in Tucson.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
