Stuart Jones - Composer

According to AllMusic,[2] Stuart Jones displayed an intense interest in music throughout his childhood years. Listening to classical music, Jazz, and pop gave Jones a broad base of musical influences, which he would draw on throughout the course of his career. That diverse palette is demonstrated in Jones' wide array of accomplishments, and his compositions for film and television can be heard on programs throughout the UK.

He is known for his prodigious and spontaneous improvisational style both in performance and composition. A Cambridge University PhD by Frances Ragni is based on his improvisations. He teaches these techniques mainly in Birmingham, England.

Jones maintains a solid reputation as a dance music artist, regularly contributing to compilations and collections of Drum and Bass, House, and Trance music alongside artists such as DJ Luck and the Artful Dodger. It is Jones' work in new-age music that has gained the most recognition. He began recording for the New World Music label,[3] in 1995 with his debut release, entitled Love Eternal. Fusing new age music ideas with dance music styles, Jones became one of the label's best-selling artists with 1998's album Lifeforce.[4] His soft jazz release Late Into The Night,[5] demonstrated his versatility and sensitivity, broadening his audience significantly. Subsequent releases such as Lazy Days (featuring vocalist Sarah Jane) and Pure Calm,[6] have established Jones as one of the genre's most innovative and progressive voices. Stuart Jones maintains a healthy performance schedule on a variety of circuits, making appearances in symphony halls and dancehalls alike.

He composed a classical symphony, Symphony in F,[7] two stage musicals Shirt and Tie,[8] and Picture This Picture Life,[9] and finally a modern Concerto for acoustic speed funk pianos.

Jones is also noted for his TV music with KPM and Stock, the most notable appearance of his music being on the soap opera Emmerdale.

Stuart Jones appears to work mainly as a solo artist but is well known on the video sharing site YouTube[10] with his piano-duelling duo Blister, teaming up with musician Sniper,[11] many of the videos being featured on NME.[12]

gollark: So it'll be more of a slow increase, hopefully going down a few weeks afterward.
gollark: But if they buy enough to send it up massively, it'll be out of reach for another week.
gollark: Initially a few people will have the required weeks of shard earnings for a CB gold, yes?
gollark: Ah, but it can't skyrocket fast.
