The Stranger: "Reflections is an immersive curatorial platform for sound, light, and space." That basic description belies a very important mission in the 2020s: to provide sanctuary from the numerous fucking horrors of the fucking world and to figuratively turn down the temperature of an overheated planet. And so Reflections founders Brandon Shotwell and Bob Maynard continued their Nobel-worthy project by bringing Southwestern ambient-music maestro Steve Roach to Seattle First Baptist Church on March 15 in order to celebrate the 40th anniversary of his classic album, Structures from Silence.

This production and performance seemed like an absolute spectacle, and I found the way that it was written about very fascinating and personal. I really liked how the article's author described his journey and emotions throughout it and the actual impact of different parts of Steve Roach's show, making the article very entertaining to read. I had a look at Steve Roach's YouTube channel, and the work that he is doing mixing audio and using synths and many effects live on stage is very impressive, and even more so that he has been doing this consistently for decades. The performance as a whole seems incredible, and I think the idea of converting a church is a very interesting idea that I have not heard before. I am very curious how much of what exactly he will do is planned out beforehand, and to what extent lighting, projections, and effects are programmed versus mixed live.
