Michael Sperone was born and raised in a bustling New York City suburb. His composing style has been shaped by wide ranging influences with musical influences including early 90's indie rock, post- war serialist composers, and contemporary "jazz". Michael also cites non-musical sources of inspiration, especially the maths and sciences. He received his undergraduate degree from William Paterson University as a Classical Percussion major. Here he studied with Raymond DesRoches, Gary Van Dyke, and Peter Jarvis among others. He began performing with the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble, in residence at the university, and eventually went on to co-found Absolute Percussion and New Music Unit with fellow students. It was here that he also first began composing seriously, with the guidance and support of Dr.'s David Weisberg, John Link, and Jeffery Kresky. Michael is a founding member of On The Cusp New Music Ensemble, New Music Unit, and Composers Anonymous as both composer and performer. As a performer, he's appeared with the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble, High Mountain Symphony, South Orange Symphony, Newband, Mad Coyote, and premiered works by Steven Ruel, Ron Mazurek, Payton MacDonald, Josh Lopes, and Nina Goede. As a composer he's had his works premiered by the New Jersey Percussion Ensemble, Joe Bergen, and New Music Unit. He has upcoming works that will be premiered by iKtus Percussion, and On The Cusp. Michael's music is published by Calabrese Brothers Music, LLC.
