Pictures, and Legendary Entertainment, and for independent labels Domino, Dead Oceans, Important Records, Sounds Familyre, Smalltown Supersound, Joyful Noise Recordings and Mason Jar Music.

Stamper’s music has been commissioned by the Grammy-winning chamber choir The Crossing and includes collaborations with Daedalus Quartet, Mantra Percussion and the Philadelphia architecture firm KieranTimberlake. He has received fellowships from MacDowell, the BAU Institute, the New Jersey State Council on the Arts and the Speranza Foundation.
