Steven Halpern je izvorno new age umjetnik, u najtočnijem smislu tog pojma. Godine 1975. izdao je Spectrum Suite, njegov prvi album, glazbe posebno dizajnirane za opuštanje i liječenje. Prije toga, Halpern je bio uključen u New York jazz scenu kao saksofonist i gitarist. Njegova odbojnost prema komercijalizaciji i brzom životu su utjecali da se premjesti u Kaliforniju, gdje je usavršena njegova ideja o "anti-bijes alternativnoj" glazbi,umjesto uronjenog u slušatelja u pozitivnu atmosferu koja vodi do recuperatinih i transcendentalnih iskustva. Dobio je ispiraciju iz orijentalno klasične glazbe i gledao u ceremonijalne, čarobne, i liječeće aspekte zvuka koje su koristile drevne kulture. Iako su neke od njegovih ideja temelje na pseudo-znanosti bljedila new age mistike, Halpernova važnost kao jednog od istinskih očeva moderne meditacije i ljekovitih oblika glazbe mora biti naglasena. On je objavio više od 50-instrumentalnih albuma i vodjenih meditacijskih snimaka. Također je napisao dvije knjige sa svojim teorijama teorijama: Namještanje ljudskih Instrumenata i Zvuk Zdravlja.
