ANDREW SHAPIRO BIOGRAPHY
Fusing vocals with ambient streams and pulses, ANDREW SHAPIRO (b. 1975) creates a sound world that "blends the minimalist influence of Philip Glass with the moody pop sensibility of 80s New Wave" (New Music Box magazine).
Shapiro grew up in Larchmont, NY and later studied composition at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Observing Philip Glass's application of popular production methods toward his manuscripts during an internship at Glass's studio deepened Shapiro's instinct to merge classical and popular sensibilities.
March 2006 marks the release of Shapiros second EP Quiet Kissing, an eclectic mixture of neo-80s pop, aching ambient textures and solo piano. Shapiros recording debut, Invisible Days (2003) was named one of the "Top 12" individually produced recordings of the year by Performing Songwriter Magazine. Other recordings include his keyboard performances Piano Solo and Soundesign (Ambient Electronic).
Shapiro performs as a soloist, with his group Airbox and composes for a variety of film and theater projects. He can be also be heard performing his piano music at McDonald's in downtown Manhattan Sundays throughout the year. Shapiro received an extensive profile in The New York Times headlined Quarter Pounder With Keys (May 15th, 2005) and was featured as the Best Pianist in a Fast-Food Restaurant in the Best of New York issue of the Village Voice (2005).
Shapiro lives in New York City. For more information, mp3s and images visit www.andrewshapiro.com.
