“I’m not like the avant-garde artist who is always concerned about being new and original,” he said. “I have a lot of fun with clichés and archetypal musical elements, no matter where they come from, whether it’s Rock-and-Roll or Jazz or a Beethoven String Quartet.

I mean, I’m not afraid to go back and use that material in a way that is somewhat unexpected and new. But my credo is not to be original in everything I do. I like dipping back and taking things we’ve heard before and putting them in a new set of clothes, or maybe placing them in a new room.”

- Composer Steve Moshier

“It is rich, always beautiful, intelligent, “humane” , sometimes sweet, sometimes aggressive, expresses a whole lot of emotions but always in a “contained” way – in one word it reflects the totality of life”

- Composer Adam Kondor, the late ‘NetNewMusic’ discussion (2009) “The Music of Steve Moshier”

“Bold and Intuitive”

- Lewis Segal, LA Times

“Brain-tickling composer Steve Moshier”

- ‘Dance in Los Angeles’ Blog

“Moshier often builds minimalist tension with a melody of about four notes, taking its variations into seductively intense territory”

– Jennifer Fisher, LA Times

“Very heroic and confident, like an Alex North score”

- Singer, actor, avant-pop writer, Rock and Roll ‘Hall of Fame’ inductee Tom Waits to Robert Koehler, LA Times

“Moshier’s score veered towards melody – Bach-like inventions”

- Victoria Looseleaf, LA Times

– Lewis Segal, LA Times
