For Michael Whalen, the passionate pursuit of music represents his life story, not merely the contents of a resume. The evocative works he composes and produces have become a part of our lives too, through his remarkably diverse ventures in television, films, theater, multi-media and on his own recordings. So far, Michael has more than 500 television scores and dozens of feature and short film credits to his name. He created the uplifting opening theme to the ABC News morning show “Good Morning America”, music for the “Oprah Winfrey Show”, Martha Stewart and the news magazine “Inside Edition”. He is a two-time Emmy® award-winner and a multiple Emmy®-nominated composer, music supervisor and sound designer. His most recent Emmy was in 2008 for PBS’ acclaimed 8-hour “America at a Crossroads” series. You might have also heard his sprawling score to the acclaimed four-hour 2005 PBS series “Slavery and the Making of America” or his music for the inspirational 2004 indie film hit “What the Bleep Do We Know”? His music is currently featured on over a dozen shows including the CBS/P & G soap opera, “As the World Turns”. He's also put out a shingle as a music supervisor. Michael is currently working on the forthcoming feature film “Veronika Decides to Die” starring Sarah Michelle Gellar based on the novel by Paulo Coelho. Other supervision work includes the forthcoming theatrical documentary “Brothers on the Line” and the just finished television film “Hit To Right”, the short film “Napoleonic” (original songs by Dr. John).
