Howard Stelzer Biography

Howard Stelzer is one of the most popular and richest Composer who was born on November 23, 1974 in Belle Harbor, United States. Stelzer explains how he became fascinated with cassette tapes as sound-producing devices. “When I was in highschool (1989-1992), I banged on trash cans in my parent’s garage with a boombox recording in the corner. I noticed how the sound on the cassette differed from the acoustic sounds in the room while I was creating the music. I began to experiment with collages using tape-copying decks. I used tape-copying decks furiously to press the pause button on one side and the source tape on another.

It would be a shame to ignore 1998’s Bond Inlets. Stelzer’s greatest achievement was an album in which he was able pick apart the inherent limitations of consumer grade tapes and create a haunting work of rare emotional power. Tiny Mix Tapes

For his first solo album since 2008’s Bond Inlets, Howard Stelzer captured sound at the Brayton Point power plant in Somerset, Massachusetts. That’s intriguing on its own, but it seems an inaccurate way to characterize the resulting album. The single, 50-minute piece Stelzer concocted is so much more dense and evocative than the term “field recording” could ever suggest. It’s like calling something a guitar album – it may narrow the context, but it says almost nothing about the listening experience. – The Out Door

Bond Inlets was released by Intransitive Recordings as a CD in 2008, and was the first to receive generally favorable notice from critics.

Howard Stelzer, an electronic music composer, is primarily inspired by sounds from tape players and cassette tapes. He was the founder of Intransitive Recordings, an independent record label that he managed from 1997 to 2012.

Stelzer, a Boca Raton native, began music making using cassette tapes and metal drums when he was just a teenager. He gave up trying to play traditional instruments and decided to instead use cassette tapes to create his music. All of Stelzer’s music was made from manipulated cassette tapes starting in 1996.

“Stone Blind”, his first album that was widely available, was self-released by Stelzer on Intransitive Recordings in 1997. The album was composed of three pieces that were roughly equal in length. It was made from two cassette tapes, each with a stereo component. Each track was recorded one-on-one to one side of a 40 minute tape. The tape ran out and the piece was over.

In 1998, Stelzer moved to Boston, Massachusetts. His performances over the next several years were mainly improvised, either solo or with duos or groups. His most frequent collaborator from 1999 until 2003 was Jason Talbot, who played a turntable in a manner similar to that in which Stelzer played cassette tapes. Stelzer credits these years as having a lasting impact on his thinking: “Everything I thought about music for a long time was based on playing with Jason Talbot. The way I played before I started playing with him was pretty ignorant. I just had a whole lot of tape decks and would put tapes in and hit play, and hope that it would sound all right. But Jason got me thinking more about physicality and improvisation, and I started to think of myself more as a player. That really fundamentally changed what I did with the tape decks, and how my sounds fit in the space, and how they worked compositionally and as live performance.”
