Having earned a Ph.D. in music history and theory, Dr. Steve Lindeman is a seasoned composer with decades of experience crafting his own musical language. Splitting his time between Los Angeles and Mexico City, he spent a number of years studying, performing, teaching, and composing music in New York City, and Salt Lake City. Rich in personality and character, his music is described as having “lush sonorities and unusual instrumental combinations, episodic shifts, extended silences.” Steve has a deep passion and interest in scoring independent film, television, and documentaries. He has a particular attraction to the work of David Fincher, the Coen Brothers, Steven Soderbergh, Sofia Coppola, Vince Gilligan, Mike White, Greta Gerwig, and Jesse Armstrong. His musical personality is equally steeped in the modern cinematic sound of Carter Burwell, Nicholas Britell, Rachel Portman, Jonny Greenwood, Dave Porter, and Christobal Tapia de Veer, as well as the jazz language of Terrence Blanchard, Lalo Schifrin, Johnny Mandel, and Henry Mancini. Lindeman’s music is bold and individualistic, alternatively intimate and gentle, explorative, experimental, fresh, and unique. Known as a kind person, an excellent team player, able to provide quick turn arounds, he is eager to collaborate with film makers and other creatives in order to help them tell their stories. more...
