STEEBER MUSIC was born in the wake of a modern dance concert commission whose presentation was at the 92^ndStreet Y in New York, in 1993. That resulting composition is now a part of the New York Performing Arts Library collection. Founder James Steeber had been working with movement and composition since 1982, and that gave him the opportunity to improvise for hours a day and to apply himself to the occasional formal work. He spent an additional 14 years in the music industry, coordinating then directing Yamaha’s classical Artist Services program. Beginning in 2017 he has been on the staff of the Juilliard School working once again with dance. STEEBER MUSIC itself remained in the background for years until Steeber received an invitation to contribute to TimeWarp’s remarkable SuperScore library. He now enjoys delving into the technology necessary to turn a penciled composition into a workable digital score, complete with score following and an expressive embedded performance.
