	Musicians - Stephen Scott

Stephen Scott (b. Corvallis, Oregon, 1944) is an American composer best known for his development of the bowed piano, which involves a grand piano being played by an ensemble of ten musicians who utilize lengths of horsehair to bow the strings of the piano, creating an orchestra-like sound. Scott founded the Bowed Piano Ensemble in 1977, for which he composes. His work is associated with the minimal style of composition.

Scott has taught music at Colorado College since 1969, and has been a full professor there since 1989. He has also taught at Evergreen State College and has served as visiting composer at the Aspen Music School, New England Conservatory of Music, Princeton University, the University of Southern California, and at several universities and conservatories in Australia and Europe.

Several recordings with Scott's Bowed Piano Ensemble have been released by New Albion Records.
