You’ve entered a world of original sound, style, and artistic passion rarely experienced elsewhere. Rick is a master at capturing the imagination with music composition born of the soul. Self-taught, Rick commands the piano, keyboards, synths, soft strings, guitar, and percussion instruments, and then he brings the heart and soul of real life into every note he writes and plays.
Rick began tinkering with the piano at the age of six, and in the coming years he would watch his sisters take lessons, and then when no one was around he would practice the lessons left by his sisters’ music teacher, and he has been playing ever since. During those same years he began playing the guitar.
In his late 30’s Rick met Lee Darby, who immediately took a deep interest in his music, and convinced him that it was too good to just sit on a shelf. After years of sporadic practice and basic composing, now newly inspired by Lee Darby, Rick again began to take his music seriously.
Realizing that Rick was somewhat restricted by the piano only, Lee introduced Rick to a XP-80, and within hours his baby grand piano and the XP-80 came together as one; Rick was now able to expand the potential of his music without the need for other musicians during the composing and arranging stages. For many years Rick preferred to compose alone, and without accompaniment, though he has been expressing an interest in co-writing, provided he can find someone who shares his passion for the unexplored.
A purist for many years believing in the natural tone of a piano, Rick realized the amazing flexibility of sound offered by the digital keyboard age, and he has now integrated a number of keyboards with the piano and guitar.
When you experience the sounds of E Rick Rinaldi, you will experience something new and amazing everytime.
