About Steve Blanco
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail.
My earliest memory is listening to my father's 1954 vinyl of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring (Dorati/Minneapolis Symphony). It terrified me, but I kept listening repeatedly—it encompassed everything about music: the mystical, magical, and spiritual.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular?
Bill Evans Trio, Turn Out the Stars - The Final Village Vanguard Recordings June 1980
Glenn Gould, Glenn Gould Plays Bach: The Well-Tempered Clavier Books I & II, BWV 846-893
Miles Davis, Nefertiti (2023 Remaster)
Choosing only three is insane, but these at least cover a lot of incredible dimensions of the force known as music. So much larger than us, however these recordings capture beauty, sadness, architecture, and the channeling of the unseen.

“Stellar Memory”
From my solo piano album MISZTIKUS this track embodies a true introspective space in which I can connect with the unseen. Solo piano is my favorite place to be in this life.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far?
Performing Imprints of Man—solo piano music of Imperial Triumphant—in Budapest on a 110-year-old Bösendorfer was unforgettable. Connecting with the audience in such a mystical city was truly outstanding.
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band?
Performing in real concert halls for 2000 people on solo piano is tops. I am working on it.
