   About Michael Vallarelli
Growing up was a very musical experience for me. Def Leppard was the first band I adored for some reason. It could have been the melodies, or the romance(Love Bites) that enticed me. As a child I listened to mostly rock and roll, and I soon realized that I needed to buy an instrument to solidify this passion. I chose the electric bass at ten, mostly because my two friends needed a bass player for their band. From there, I went on to discover other instruments like the piano, drums and guitar. For years I played in bands in the Westchester area showcasing a rock oriented structure, the most recent band being Motion Picture Cutouts. Thanks to Mr. Dwight Goodyear, I was introduced to the world of solo piano music. He is responsible for my first experience in hearing Keith Jarrett. The La Scala concert record was the first piece I heard, and it blew me away. The experience changed the way I approach music. From there, I grew incredibly passionate towards the piano, and eventually was given a keyboard for Christmas. Drawn from events and emotions of my everyday life, I try to incorporate many visceral textures and themes into the music, and I hope that this is manifested through my playing. I don't read or write music, so the pieces are mostly improvised and sketched out by ear and pattern. I'm interested in composing for films so if anyone is need of music for a project, feel free to drop me a line or two.
