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.
