Steve Moore

New York-based musician Steve Moore is a prolific multi-instrumentalist whose work has ranged from noise rock to minimal techno to film scores. As the co-founder of the synth-heavy prog rock duo Zombi, Moore played a major role in the resurgence of interest in vintage horror film soundtracks during the 2000s and 2010s, greatly influencing the synthwave genre. Similarly, Moore's early solo albums such as 2007's The Henge and 2010's Primitive Neural Pathways preceded the revival of Berlin School-style synth music and new age. Moore's ventures into beat-driven material have included disco records as Lovelock (including the 2011 full-length Burning Feeling) and techno singles on labels such as Kompakt and L.I.E.S. He has become increasingly busy composing soundtracks for horror films, such as 2016's The Mind's Eye. He resumed non-soundtrack work with his ambient-leaning 2019 full-length Beloved Exile, and released the library music-inspired Cursed Objects in 2024.
