EP 10: Steve Forman Well established in the LA recording studios, Steve Forman has long been recognized as one of the world’s most innovative and creative percussionists. His professional credentials began in Arizona as a contract member of the Phoenix Symphony, but his broader interests in music soon led him to the recording studios in Los Angeles. Interspersed with his early touring experience, Steve's personal trips to Brazil and Japan were important influences on his playing; he developed a style of "color" hand percussion and extended the on-stage instrument collection well beyond the routine Latin instrument group common at that time by utilizing found objects like hubcaps and artillery shells, sculptural artifacts and odd metal and wood constructions.  Steve’s has played on a great many recordings with some of the most influential artists of the 20th century including John Lennon, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, The Beach Boys, Lee Ritenour, and Christine Aguilara, as well as playing on a vast array of movie soundtracks that include E.T, Flipper, Bill &amp; Ted II, Starship Troopers, Catch Me if You Can, Bambi II, and many more.  Steve now lives in Glasgow, Scotland where he gained his PHD in composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Steve now lectures and teaches his popular Pulse Relational Rhythm Theory class at the RCS which is based on insights emerging from Forman’s research of multi-dimensional polyrhythmic systems and high resolution synchronicity, semi-malleable forms, and non-standard instrumentation, and more than three decades of professional practice. He also continues to perform and record with some of the country’s top musicians.

Steve Forman Sedgefield Serpentine Trail Race

From the late 60s to the early 2000s Steve Forman was known as one of the most well respected and in-demand percussionists on the LA studio scene. Steve was the percussionist for many iconic recordings with Pink Floyd, David Bowie, John Lennon, The Beach Boys, REO Speedwagon, James Taylor, Dave Matthews Band, Christina Aguilera, and also played percussion on some of Hollywood’s greatest movies including: E.T, Pretty Woman, Catch Me if You Can, Flipper, Last of the Mohicans, Jumping Jack Flash, and Dumb &amp; Dumber. Around 10 years ago I met Steve at a music session in a pub in Glasgow, Scotland where he has now relocated. Steve had decided to leave the once booming LA studio scene to pursue his life’s next journey percussion and music while completing his PHD in composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. In this Episode We hear from Steve about the early days on the LA scene, his first major studio session that turned out to be for John Lennon, playing sessions for movies, the early days of audio sampling, and Steve’s new major focus of understanding and teaching rhythm theory in a three dimensional and non linear way.  Above is a photo from one of our many sessions in Glasgow. Me on cajon and Steve on congas with some of Scotland’s finest: Adam Sutherland on fiddle, Innes Watson on Guitar, and the wonderful late Fraser Shaw on low whistle. (Photo by Natalie Champa Jennings) The post EP 20: Steve Forman appeared first on PlayCajon.
