about

This collection of tracks demonstrate my palette as a composer as it was in 1990. Make of it what you will, in some ways I feel like I've never surpassed the raw, open mood of adventure and experimentation that these examples contain.

Enjoy!

about

Steve Jobe Providence, Rhode Island

Born in 1955 in Mt. Vernon Ohio, the same hometown as Daniel Decatur Emmett, the composer of the song, “Dixie.” I settled into RI for good in 1984 and began composing soon after. I have a respectable body of work: two operas, a couple of concertos both commissioned, a cantata that was commissioned, a string quartet that won an award in 2006.
