Michael schelle, composer • Schelle'smusic, which has been commissioned and performed by major orchestras and professional chamber ensembles across the US and abroad, mixes the influences Jimi Hendrix with Stravinsky and J. S. Bach, the expressive chromaticism of Wagner and Mahler. • “The big umbrella over everything is the experimental aesthetic of Charles Ives, John Cage, and post-Bop jazz pioneers like LennieTristano and Ornette Coleman, which is: Who cares? If that's the thing we want to do, that's what we're going to do. I love that 'devil-may-care', 'spit in your eye', 'break the rules' spirit. • I love to try things. Still today, every piece is like a kid in a candy store - sure, let's try that.“ • Michael Schelle
