Synthesist and space music pioneer Steve Roach shared this epic 2 hour, 25 min live performance from the Phoenix Synth Fest on Feb 11, 2022.
The concert was captured with multi-camera HD video, with audio recorded in high resolution, directly from Roach’s mixing console. The performance was Roach’s first live public concert since February 2020.
The video captures the premiere of over an hour of new music, lots of great footage of Roach’s performance and live visuals by Francisco Mendez / NoctiVision.

This is an amazing performance. I am normally not into ambient music, but this, coupled with the video makes an incredible experience. Not sure how he projected the video, but it is really well done.
Craig Anderton made a comment some years back that “The Future of Music Will Include Video”. This is an excellent example.
Thanks for posting.
Sounds great, I would have loved to be in the audience.
What’s the deal with the pink ans purple diamond though?
Hats off – trying to catch l’audience attention during 2h30 all alone… not a simple task…
A little bit boring and déjà vu for my taste. But nice try! Bravo Mr Roach.
@Tank2000: Look at the cover art from Structures from Silence and you’ll see the diamonds.

Cheers Seedmuse.
I have a vague memory of seeing diamond shaped light organ somewhere.
Excellent as usual with Steve. I hope a CD issue of this great concert ! Perehaps even a DVD of the show ?
