An award winning score for Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis and a continuing
association with Melbourne Symphony emphasizes Stephan Schütze's position as
Australia's principle orchestral composer for the games industry. In the five
years as Lead Audio Designer at Melbourne's BlueTongue Entertainment he has
worked on several premier titles and earned a reputation for excellence that
has spread worldwide.
A background of professional playing and extensive academic studies has
resulted in a mature approach to the writing and producing of musical works. Stephan
spent five years in The Australian Army Band Melbourne as a horn player, and
this combined with musical studies at both The Victorian College of the Arts
and Latrobe University provide a strong foundation as a composer.
A selection of short film scores, Taiko drumming and works for mobile phone
platforms adds to his composing experience. As a member of the Australian Guild
of Screen Composers and the Australian Fellowship of Composers, Stephan actively
pursues his interest in the Australian music industry.
His academic skills have also become widely regarded, with several articles
published including a paper in Organised Sound, a Cambridge University music
journal. Stephan has also presented lectures for The Australian Film Television
and Radio School, The Digital Media Fund and The Australian Game Developers
Conference.
