Composer, producer, performing artist Steve Reinthal - a brief bio
Focusing on developing his own
capacity for composing and specialising in finger-style acoustic
guitar, Steve retired from session gigs and from working in cover
bands, and secured casual employment in ABC Radio, where he quickly
moved up through the ranks of music administration, distribution and
co-production development. Steve moved into ABC D-Cart (Digital
Broadcast),
until seduced by ABC Music to step in as label manager, supervising and
contracting the production of up to 60 CD releases a
year. Recognising that his own musical
development was constantly being back-burnered by the sheer volume of
energy required to manage the Label, and profoundly inspired by Joseph Campbell
to "Follow Your Bliss", Steve tendered his resignation and commenced a
third chapter of exploration as a composer and producer in his own
right.
Moving to Queensland in 1999, Steve has since devoted his creative energies to working exclusively on
original arts projects, composing music for theatre, film, his own CD
releases, music collaborations, producing and co-producing with
colleagues, teaching original music composition, exploring and refining
his own gifts, and the talents of others. Much of the work produced by
Steve in the last several years is showcased throughout this site. Steve has most recently
completed a masters degree in media production and is currently engaged
in sessional lecturing in sound design and audio production (Griffith
Film School, QCA), and is constantly composing music for film.
