Stan has invested a significant amount of time in studying percussive instruments and the several cultures that have spawned them (particularly, frame drums, gongs, cajones, djembes, darbukas, and other instruments of North, Central and West Africa, India, and the Afro-Latin diaspora).
Stan's musical background spans many types and forms, and he played in several orchestras and traditional bands during his lower and secondary school years. During his college years, (Northwestern University), Stan focused his musical study on jazz and Black traditional sacred music forms. Says Stan: "I originally fell in love with film music after going to my first film as a boy (the 1979 James Bond film "Moonraker"!). Between films and books and stories my mother told
me, I developed an equally profound affection for stories and storytelling. I see myself as a storyteller, and music is my medium."
