Rick Rascati

After playing guitar in his own rock band for the better part of a decade, Rick Rascati decided to channel that whole experience into a different direction in which there was free reign to compose music that is devoid of commercial pigeonholing and traverse through various musical territories at will.

Coming full circle, he gravitated back towards his original instrument, piano. Writing a batch of songs in recent years playing all the parts himself as well as recording and producing it at his home studio on a Mac G5 w/Apple Logic Pro. From this time on he wanted to create music with the only limits being self-imposed.

Some of his recent forays include; Ambient, World, Techno and Piano New Age compositions. Some of the artists that have influenced the afore-mentioned styles in his music have been David Arkenstone, Tangerine Dream, Ed Van Fleet, Loreena McKennitt, John Williams, not to mention Movie and TV soundtracks. Also, he's been getting regular airplay on numerous internet radio sites along with great feedback from some industry and well known New Age artists. In recent years he's been featured on 2 compilations on Epilogue Records, 'Celtic Shores' and 'An Amber Christmas'. He's currently in the process of releasing a movie soundtrack themed CD in which the scenes are created in the listener's imagination.
