Details:
Steve Jolliffe's solo career as an Independent has enabled him to explore many different musical directions including traditional electronic, ambient/trance and classical.

Steve's beautifully layered keyboard arrangements on Alien are enhanced by his weaving of flute, Yamaha's WX-7, a MIDI Wind Instrument, and soprano and tenor saxophone, all played by Jolliffe.

In between performing, composing and painting, Jolliffe manages to release one Independent album nearly every year. 'Alien' has been referred to as a 'stunning' CD and is considered by some to be one of Jolliffe's best works yet.

Jolliffe and Rick Davies played together in the 60's in a band called the Joint, which later evolved into Supertramp. During the 70's Jolliffe was a member of the blues/rock band Steamhammer and was one of the early members of the renowned synth electronic group Tangerine Dream. Jolliffe has also composed for film and television. The music from his 1999 recording 'Deep Down Far' has been used in advertisements on the Discovery Channel in England and Steve's ambient/trance CD 'Zanzi' was chosen by the national syndicated radio program 'Musical Starstreams' as one of its Top Ten Albums of 1996. Many of Jolliffe's compositions can be found on musical library recordings.
