CHRIS STEPHENS

Born 21st November 1989

From St. Albans, UK

 

  After graduating in 2012 from Hertfordshire University, UK, I have since moved over to Norway, pursuing my love for new surroundings, and also to carry on my passion for the art of composing. Being freelance, I enjoy being capable of moving around the world without the need to give up on my dreams. It is just too big a world to stay in one place.. 

​

I have sufficient knowledge on the workings of the orchestra, adept at playing Guitar (both acoustic and electric), I have working understanding of piano-playing and also have tried my hand several times with sound engineering. I also can capably use such software as Logic, Sibelius, MAX MSP and Reason.



My preferred styles to compose for are orchestral and also piano, although I have recently been experimenting with Ambient Electronic music (available to view in the 'audio' section).

So what separates me from other musicians? I pride myself in being as open-minded as possible when dealing with all genres of music and, in turn, try to learn as many different techniques as possible from the varying styles. I believe that every genre has its own individual and unique properties that makes it stand out from others and loved by its creators. Therefore , it is a musician's obligation to learn and appreciate the anatomy of that style.
