John Avarese is an Associate Teaching Professor at Drexel University, USA, teaching Production Sound, Audio Post-Production, and Scoring to Picture. To date, Avarese has composed over 4000 commissioned scores and recorded an elegant collection of film music, as well as mixing and sound design on hundreds of projects, including 27 theatrical feature films, scores of short films, and six surround sound planetarium features.
I have a background as a classical pianist who started at a young age. Although I have developed many skill sets, today I am primarily a film composer who has honed my music through a three-decade career spanning all styles and genres. When I sit to compose, I bring experience from every position in the audio world: sound recordist, sound designer, mixer, session producer, live-event producer, multi-instrument musician, composer, conductor. This unique insight propels the diversity of my work. I am always searching for an interesting way to tell an interesting story.
