Stephen Bailey Stephen Bailey Denver A fierce experimentalist, Stephen Bailey is a Colorado-based composer, instrument maker, producer and sound engineer. Stephen’s compositional output embodies a language in which the primary concern is expression, and the primary tool is texture. This definitively contemporary language borrows techniques from composers of minimalism, sound mass, new simplicity, and post-serialism and explores them on the canvas of chamber, choral, and electronic music. The result can be both ecstatically serene and forcefully chaotic, both sumptuously beautiful and disturbingly ugly. Stephen’s music has been featured twice on the Playground Ensemble’s annual Colorado Composer’s Concert, as well as their 2013 New Creations concert. Stephen was also one of three composers to have their music performed at The Classical Salon at Dazzle Nightclub. His devotion to modern music has garnered him commissions from the Metropolitan State University of Denver Men’s Choir, Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church and a number of Denver-area musicians and chamber groups. He has studied composition with composers such as Conrad Kehn, Leanna Kirchoff, Fred Hess, Cherise Leiter, Abbie Betinis, Brian Johanson, and Chris Malloy. He holds an Associate of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Music degree in music composition from Arapahoe Community College and Metropolitan State University of Denver respectively and is currently pursuing a Masters of Music in composition from the University of Denver.
