Composer/contemporary pianist Richard Carr is now living in the St. Louis area after spending 10 years working as a pianist in the night clubs, hotels and restaurants of the French Quarter of New Orleans prior to Hurricane Katrina. He has released thirteen solo albums and one collaborative album in the contemporary instrumental /new age genre.

Carr’s compositional process is improvisatory by nature. Concerts frequently begin with a new creation / improvisation. Richard believes that this approach permits the passion and emotion of the moment to come front and center in his music.

Currently Richard is preparing to begin recording his new album, Matters of Balance,with renowned producer Will Ackerman. The anticipated release date is Summer 2016.

Since May 1, 2011 Richard has been creating the Year of Music project. A new unreleased creation or LIVE recording is posted on his website each day. Each creation is recorded in real time with no editing or layering of tracks. The Year of Music project from September 1, 2012 to present day can be found at www.SoundCloud.com/richard-carr .

Aware of the meditative quality of his music, Richard has been exploring the healing side of his music. Working in the holistic community of St. Louis, Richard has developed the I AM Creative Sessions. These sessions are personal sessions in which Richard creates music for the client’s intention or focus. In essence, he creates a self-empowerment soundtrack for the intention.
