Daniel Steffey and Christina Stanley
Daniel Steffey is a composer and percussionist located in the San Francisco Bay Area. His newest album of electronic works titled “Chloros” was released on Edgetone Records in which Foxy Digitalis went on to say, “It is as abrasive as it is meditative, and bold as it is voyeuristic. He has surprisingly found new meanings within noise.” In 2011, Daniel was commissioned by the Fifth Wall Gallery in Las Vegas, Nevada to contribute a solo exhibition for their inaugural opening; the resulting sound installation Sonic Trichromacy was met with critical acclaim. His work String Quartet No. 1 garnered him the Paul Merritt Henry Prize for string writing from Mills College. In 2009, Daniel also contributed the music and sound design for Helen Pau’s award-winning play “The Stone Wife”, which ran at The Berkeley City Club throughout December of that year. Currently, he is composing a series of chamber pieces, including a saxophone quartet to be premiered in Italy in August 2012.
