ABOUT
Steve Long, a lifelong New Yorker from Canarsie, Brooklyn, is an artist and organizer working with sound, language, and space. His interest in music began at age 11 when a derelict piece of furniture, formerly known as a piano, was moved into his family’s home. He studied composition at the Manhattan School of Music before receiving his BA in linguistics from the American University of Rome. He received an MMA in contemporary improvisation from the New England Conservatory of Music.
For him, creative work, as a composer or curator, is an act of facilitation. To this end, he constructs situations that allow collaborators to push out into corners and luxuriate in both physical and metaphysical space. His work organizes collective imagined futures unencumbered by incessant categorization.
Recordings of his solo and collaborative work have been released on NotArt Records, Biophilia Records, Astral Spirits, and Tripticks Tapes, among others.
In Long’s work as an educator, he has delivered guest lectures at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, and Northeastern University, where his workshops trace the lineages of queerness through American Experimentalism. He currently teaches at The New School.
