Fluent in conventional scoring techniques and a full range of musical styles, Stephen Jay specializes in combining ethnic and modern instruments to create a blend of the exotic and contemporary. He has scored more than fifty nationally broadcast PBS specials and series episodes, including three George Foster Peabody Award winners, and contributed to several feature films. His background includes a BA and MM Graduate Fellowship in composition, and studies with composers John Cage, Lucas Foss, Max Neuhaus and Charles Wuronien. In the mid-seventies he lived in West Africa studying the Dundun (talking drum), with master drummer Isah Hamani of the Djerma peoples of Niamey, Niger. Additional travels and instrumental studies in Asia and the South Pacific broadened Jay's expertise in world music styles and instrumental performance. His extensive collection of exotic wind, string, and percussion instruments, played in combination with contemporary ensembles, results in richly textured musical images.
