Stephen Melillo, The Peace Projects

Had a wonderful chat with Stephen Melillo. A world-renowned composer, Stephen’s more than 1240 works include 4 symphonies, several concerti and over 40-hours of Music for Ensembles of the 3rd Millennium™.  Stephen’s Symphony IIII: Lightfall, was nominated for the Pulitzer and Nemmers Prize in Music.  Winner of three 2009 Telly & Ava Awards for his 2005 Visualized Concert, Kakehashi: That We Might Live, Stephen's concert-version of that work was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in Music.  A fourth Telly Award was given for “Best Use of Music” in the 2019 feature film, One Little Finger produced by Rupam Sarmah.  A fifth Telly Award included Stephen’s work on the 2019 Reckoning of Darkness produced by Christopher Kulikowski.  Stephen’s 15 feature film scores include the Oscar-nominated 12:01PM and the Jonathan Heap horror thriller, The Unwilling.  Stephen has been a recipient of the ASCAP Concert Awards each year since 1992.  STORMWORKS, Stephen’s pioneering, self-publishing entity, has gone from 0 to many thousands of worldwide renderings since 1992 simply by word-of-mouth.  He has 41 CDs and 9 books on varied streaming services and stores, including, Ahab, a Love Story,  and most recently the sequel, Death to Moby Dick, a Love Story.
