Maybe its not a straight line, but you can trace the vast and varied creative journey

of Val Staccato (Carlos Miranda, September 19th) The Musician, Guitarist, Composer and Music Producer of Instrumental New Age Rock back to his childhood in Peru. Influenced by all kinds of musical genres: Classical, Blues, Flamenco, Heavy Metal, Hindi, Exotic, Hard Rock, Electronic...and Peruvian Music. When I was a kid, my older brother used to come home with all these 70's and 80's Heavy Rock albums," remembers Staccato. We hadnt heard anything like Rainbow or Van Halen. Its Ritchie Blackmore and Eddie Van Halens guitar playing, why I learned to start playing the guitar, only to find out Yngwie Malmsteen or Joe Satriani, among others. And there are elements of those records, and what I felt when I listened to those records, that still underlie everything I do.

Val Staccato

A naturally gifted musician, his guitar playing quickly progressed and became a creative outlet for him during his teenage years. His music, instrumental, melodic, rocker but always inspiring, has navigated through a wide range of the musical spectrum, expressing himself in any of the musical palettes, always adopting these musical languages to his own style of emotion and musical aesthetics.
