Steven Halpern

Steven Halpern

Steven Halpern is a New Age musician.

Halpern played trumpet and guitar on the New York City jazz scene in the 1960s, but became disenchanted with this scene and moved to California. There he began exploring the idea of creating music entirely for the purpose of relaxation, which he called "anti-frantic alternative" music. [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:aifixqq5ldae~T1 Steven Halpern] at Allmusic] He began creating soundscapes which did not adhere to traditional Western tonality, but which instead consisted of static, minimalist electric piano textures inspired by Eastern music. He is a proponent of theories which emphasize the healing properties of music.

Since his first record of new age material was released in 1975, he has recorded more than 50 albums. The most commercially successful of these was 2000's "Deja-Blues", which reached #18 on the U.S. Billboard Top New Age Albums chart. [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:aifixqq5ldae~T5 Billboard] , Allmusic.com] He is also the author of two books, "Tuning the Human Instrument" and "Sound Health".
