I have an extensive background in both Classical music and electronic music technologies.
After the Classical studies and the Piano Degree I started to dedicate my spare time to hard-disk recording and Ambient & Soundtrack music, composing unique instrumental pieces with a blend of piano, guitars, synths, bass and chill-out rhythms and arrange them to the final product.
I still continue composing new Piano solo songs, I love improvising at my Piano!
Direction and dedication
I am an artist who writes for himself, for having a special
emotion during the creative moment and when I listen to my own song.
Like most visionaries, I understand that if you explore your passion, you will find other like-minded individuals along the way.
My musical vision is focused on energizing the genre of Ambient and Film Music by fusing the elements
of Electronic soundscapes, Chill-out drumming, Orchestra and Classical Piano playing that, with a special dedication to melody
and arrangement, are blended in uniquely passionate ways.
With all these elements and a part of creativity I try to achieve a unique style that is my own.
So slide back in your easy-chair and let me take you on an audio journey!
Inspiration
My
primary inspiration comes from Family, Life, Nature, Science, God and my life
experiences with them.
Additional inspiration comes from my favourite artists like Mike Oldfield, The Alan Parsons Project, Ennio Morricone, Keith Jarrett,
Dave Grusin, Pat Metheney and other pure Electronic music composers like Jean-Michel Jarre and Kraftwerk.
Last but not least I met a lot of talented independent artists that gave me friendship, support and positive energy
like The Wimshurst’s Machine, Garymusik, Syngularity and many others.
Do I create music with an audience in mind? Yes. Me. I am the audience. I want to hear things I do not hear on the radio.
And I am betting there are other people out there that will like what I like.
My primary goal is to stay in touch with why I enjoy music; always thinking how to keep things fresh, daring, stylized, inventive, passionate, resonant and original.
It's not easy and I don't know if I will ever reach that goal... but just trying will be enough!
Thanks for taking the time, I hope you will enjoy my music!!
