About
Brad Stark is a music composer for games, film & other media, pianist and improviser. Brad is a featured artist of Soundiron and uses their "Emotional Piano" Sample library.
About myself and my music:
I developed a deep appreciation for classical composers for the piano such as Chopin, Rachmaninov, and Scriabin in my teenage years. I began piano lessons and composing at the age of 11 and progressed fairly quickly, but my main pursuit was always composing.
Classical Improvisations
During my composing activities I would often improvise at the piano. I continued to improvise through the years and began recording my improvisations for the first time in November 2011. Classical improvisation was typical for composers of the classical and romantic eras. Composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, and Chopin were renowned for their keyboard improvisations. Eugène Delacroix described Chopin's improvisations as "being bolder than his compositions, both in style and character, his actual pieces being mere distillations of his improvisations." If you enjoy my improvisations and would like to support me, I would thankfully accept donations.
Music for Media
I also write music for games and other media, which you can hear on soundcloud. I have written music for games on iPhone, PC, and XBOX360.
