STEVE'S
STORY From symphonies
recorded and performed by European orchestras to background production
music heard on television and radio around the world to the
creation of experimental, non-narrative video
pieces, Steve's talent and diversity extends to many aspects of
the audio-visual world.
Steve's latest work translates his extensive experience with sound into visual forms. These visual forms are represented as experimental video works accompanied by innovative music for digitally processed sampled instruments and sounds. From 2000-2003, he lived and worked in Los Angeles, composing for media corporations and working closely with musicians at California State University Long Beach. He has written concert music for orchestra and chamber ensembles, music for electronic media and pieces for music libraries, video, film, dance and theater productions. He studied composition & music theory with Jeffrey Mumford and guitar performance with William Peters at the Settlement Music School in Philadelphia, PA. Read more . . .
Steve Kornicki's philosophy is to dissolve borders between politically defined genres of music and embrace all forms as equally relevant to the modern composer. |
