notes

Critic Kathy Parsons has called Michael Dulin "one of the most versatile musicians I've ever encountered. His original music, on the Equity Digital label brings a new and exciting voice to the world of new age / contemporary instrumental music.

Michael brings a variety of influences to his music. Although a classically trained pianist, who completed his studies at the famed Juilliard School in New York, Dulin maintains a multi-faceted professional life, working in musical styles ranging from classical to gospel. He is a studio owner, session musician, producer/arranger, and composer of award-winning music for radio, television, film, and theater, in addition to being a phenomenal pianist.

In the midst of a major ad campaign for one of his clients (his credits include music for General Motors, NASA, Jack Daniels, 3-M Corporation, Blue Cross-Blue Shield) you may find him running out of town to perform Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue with a regional orchestra. On another day, you might find him performing with a group of 70 to 80 year old Southern Jazz legends.

In April 2004, Michael completed 6 months on the road as a member of The Temptations Review featuring Dennis Edwards touring band. Dennis is the last surviving lead singer of the legendary Temptations, and with the Temptations Dennis has 5 Grammys and 14 gold albums to his credit.

As Kathy Parsons said, "He can very literally do it all and do it well!"

Michael continues to record and produce in Birmingham, Muscle Shoals and Nashville. He also loves to travel, is a frequent backpacker, avid skier, speaks "pretty good" German, and loves to visit museums around the world. He is engaged to the one HE waited for, Jan Moore, an elementary school teacher.

  • My favorite CD of all time!
    author: Joyce Baker, Birmingham, AL

    This is my favorite CD ever! It's surprising that one cannot read newspaper through it - I've played it so much! (Almost every day since I got it about 6 months ago.) My favorite track is Wedding Day, with my second favorite being almost ANY of the other tracks. I've given friends and family about 20 of this particular CD, as well as several of his other CDs - especially Atmospheres... simply because I love to "share" beautiful music. This CD truly is "the one I waited for"! Thanks, Prince Michael.....

    “The One I Waited For” is a stunning first-release from new label, Equity Digital. Julliard-trained Michael Dulin shines brightly on solo piano (with occasional synth washes), and promises to bring an exceptional new voice to contemporary instrumental music. A man of many musical hats, Dulin works professionally in styles ranging from classical to gospel. Along with being a phenomenal pianist, Dulin is a studio owner, session musician, producer/arranger, and composer of award-winning music for radio, television, film, and theater. This varied background is apparent in the variety of pieces on the album. All are calming and relatively peaceful, but there is a rich complexity that reveals itself the more you listen. Dulin calls his music “inner music - music that balances and centers and replenishes” and “a haven of sound that one can visit again and again.” The CD opens with a lovely, piece called “The Way Home.” I feel a sense of searching, and perhaps a bit of nostalgia in the music. The rubato rhythms and jazz elements keep this piece surprising, fresh, and inviting. “First Love” is a sweet and gentle piece with a flowing left hand, and a carefree melody that almost smiles. “Solitude” is more introspective and dark, but isn’t brooding. Thoughtful and intimate, this is one of my favorites. “After the Storm” is a more classical piece that clearly demonstrates Dulin’s incredible playing “chops.” The clarity of the trills and runs is amazing. “Lullabye for Alexa” is a gentle song without words - very loving and warm. “By the Fire” is more rubato again, and feels almost conversational. There seem to be two “voices” exchanging ideas or thoughts, and the feeling is so comfortable and easy. Great stuff! “The One I Waited For” is indeed an auspicious beginning, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. Several more albums from Dulin and Equity Digital are scheduled for release in 2003, so I’m excited to hear this new music! Very highly recommended!
