"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 cliches 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."
- Interview in the Orange County Register (1989)

“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”

“Moshier often builds minimalist tension with a melody of about four notes, taking its variations into seductively intense territory”
– Jennifer Fisher, LA Times

“Moshier’s score veered towards melody – Bach-like inventions”
- Victoria Looseleaf, LA Times

“Bold and Intuitive”
- Lewis Segal, LA Times
