Stephen Chase

Stephen Chase composes, improvises, and walks quite a lot. Most of his work veers erratically between generative ideas and following his nose, exploring aspects of interaction between people, action and sound, sound and space, space and time. These, usually overlapping, obsessions are explored through scores, performance, installation, improvisation and walking. Co-conspirators and performing comrades have included Exaudi, Quatuor Bozzini, Philip Thomas, Choir Brevis, Music We’d Like to Hear, Bank Street Arts, CoMA, Ryoko Akama, Patrick Farmer, Ross Parfitt, Coastguard All Stars, Taku Sugimoto, piggle, and Freaking Glamorous Teapot. He is co-editor of Changing the System: The Music of Christian Wolff (Ashgate/Routledge), and convenes the occasional performance series, mon se taire truc.
