Steve Gregoropoulos- Arranger & Conductor
Steve Gregoropoulos is a composer, musician and performer currently based in Los Angeles. In 2015 he staged a long-form work called The Endless Drip, an anarchist perspective put into practice wherein nine musicians form into an ensemble in real time in front of a live audience, and last spring he expanded on the idea in an operatic format with bass-baritone Dean Elzinga and poems by Paloma Parfrey; then last October, in conjunction with Eric Erlandson, he scored and staged an hour-long cantata based on the songs on the first Hole album Pretty on the Inside for a 20-piece orchestra and 10-piece choir. He has also staged a ballet, The Selfish Giant, a song cycle The Mellifluous Aurora and a symphony, as well as many smaller works. He plays in and releases recordings with several experimental and pop groups including his chamber orchestra W.A.C.O., the avant garde band The Wild Stares with whom he lived in Berlin and London, and the pop group Lavender Diamond, with which he performed in Mongolia in 2014. He is constantly busy as a composer and arranger, and has worked with Calder Quartet, among others, in that capacity. Steves musical philosophy is based on the idea that given a reasonable chance, regular people can both participate in and appreciate new music as well as anyone.
Steve Gregoropoulos contributed to the second edition of Waywords and Meansigns, recording Book I Chapter 3 The Humphriad II: His Trial and Incarceration, the Acoustic Disturbance.
