Steve Roach - Crossing the Bridge - Live in Boulder (2024)

Recorded live At Boulder Theater - October 4, 2024 - Colorado. This concert is an opening of a portal. It was 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 stunning "Absolute Elsewhere” album; it was an opportunity to present my live music to a new audience. The set was built from the elements of my 2024 US tour that presents the full range of my music over 2 hours. Mystical deep ambient - atmospheric to multilayered sequencer woven trance merging to tribal and acoustic infused Dreamtime realms. In this setting I took this 2 hour trajectory I have been performing in large Cathedrals and Churches and compressed this into a 60 min hyperblending of constant shapeshifting.

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 experience.
