Visionary American synthesist and pioneer of ambient music Steve Roach returns for his first Los Angeles show in 4 years. Following his filled-to-capacity 2019 Pasadena cathedral event, Roach takes us on a sound journey at the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles in the Westlake neighborhood. The Reflections Concert event sees the church come alive with two hours of truly sublime, otherworldly music, accompanied by immersive, architecturally-mapped light projections. Twice Grammy nominated, Roach is a longstanding leader in contemporary electronic music. Exploring styles ranging from analog modular synthesis to deep space music, he’s dedicated four decades to exploring myriad soundworlds that connect with a timeless source of inspiration.
