SP Goodman

The calendar is empty.

Stephen Goodman has been playing guitar since 1971, and recording the results since 1980.  Exposed to classical music, initially Beethoven, and sporadic piano lessons from age 6 to 26, Stephen started playing by ear early on, and hopes to bring a new viewpoint to wherever he is.  In 1996 he invented a software-encapsulated player for short sound files on the PC, which, when started, plays itself in a loop, providing “an ambient backdrop for your desktop.”  It is still unduplicated today.  Since its creation, the Loop Of The Week has been posted online at http://www.earthlight.net/Studios on a (mostly) weekly basis.

Current music work is in the ambient-situational area, creating both hypnotic material for meditative activity, and variable soundtracks for everyday thoughts.  At this time, it is also being played in a number of therapeutic arenas, including hospice and a cancer care facility.  Latest works are presently being used for the “chill-out” period in Pilates classes in London. 

Since 1986 Stephen has operated in the computer business as EarthLight Productions, and has extended this umbrella to also include not only the music work but illustration, design, and cartooning of astonishing speed. MediaLine published his “Hidden Track” cartoon monthly from 2001-2005 (see http://www.earthlight.net/HiddenTrack), and hopes to get elsewhere as well.
