Michael Stearns began as a guitarist in the sixties, playing in rock and jazz bands. In 1968, he composed his first electronic piece, while he was studying at university. After he completed his musical studies, he opened a studio where he began to produce his music together with jingles for the local radio and television nets. After being a resident artist at the Emily Conrad's Continuum Studio in 1975 and playing for two years in the free jazz trio Alivity, he recorded his first album. Since then, he has continued to release his own records, besides composing soundtracks and collaborating in other productions.
