Steve Owens: As a composer – primarily self-taught but immersed in music theory, history and performance from a young age – I have drawn on the masters of the past and the present as models for understanding music’s construction. I find that music provides pleasure through the balance of its proportions, elegance of its counterpoint, variety of its timbre, and sensitivity to detail. For me, attention to craft serves the larger purpose of creating an expressive dialog: challenging yet enjoyable for the player, and serving as a vehicle for the audience to bear witness to my musical journey.
