Loren Robert DiGiorgi
Music and I go way back (longer than I care to remember!). I started playing piano at age 3 and started composing music at age 7. Composing has always been my passion, and I found myself studying the different styles and nuances of everything from the great baroque composers to Lennon and McCartney. After studying classical piano extensively through grade, junior and high school, I attended Dana College of Music and Berklee College of Music.
During this time, I wrote a lot of music that was never performed or shared with others, and this became a kind of "quiet period" for me. Then in 1998, I founded my own record label, "Morningtide Records" and publishing company, DiGiorgi Music (ASCAP) as a vehicle to release my music. My first CD, "Dream," was released on November 23, 1998 at a release party and public performance at the New Castle Playhouse Annex. The CD of original quasi-classical piano solos is available at CD Baby. It can also be downloaded digitally at iTunes, Audio Lunchbox, BuyMusic.com, and many other digital music outlets such as Rhapsody, MusicMatch, Yahoo Music, and Napster, to name a few. Since the release of "Dream," I composed, scored and recorded the soundtracks to 2 nationally-available exercise DVD's, "Standing Firm System" and "Ballet Boot Camp," the latter featuring well-known ballet fitness personality Jessica Sherwood.
In Spring of 2007, I released a new collection of quiet, melodic original piano called "A Winter's Journey." This CD is also available at the retail and digital outlets mentioned above.
Two songs of mine, "Moondance" and "Waiting For A Moment That Never Arrives," were used in the Brilliant Idiot production "Where God Went Wrong," an internet and radio series about the lead character's quest to find a good cup of tea in the afterlife.
In September of 2006, I accepted the position of Music Director at Shenango Presbyterian Church, a position I still hold in June, 2008.
New music, new equipment, and new projects are coming in the near future.
Stay tuned!
