The Echoes Chamber:
Steve Roach's Secret Sources


A synthesizer icon plucks
his sources out of the air.


Synthesist Steve Roach puts on the headphones while we plug in an iPod to play him music that might have been part of his musical journey. From minimalists to space music, pop singers to didgeridoos, Roach identifies and talks about the music of his life and some of the people he's influenced.

We didn't have time for the entire session on the radio but you can listen to it here (about 45 minutes)
