Biography :

Most people that know me don't know I'm a composer. When they finally hear my music, I usually get comments like "are you crazy?" "You're insane" "Sounds like a horror movie" "Did you have a rough childhood?" "who were you thinking of strangling?" etc etc.

I've been writing since age 5. I had a record out back in the 80s called "Modern Day Woman" released on Rising Sun Records (Purple Haze Music BMI), and I've done work in film. "Last Waltz On a Tightrope" was one I did that was aired on the national PBS network. I've also done other jingles and small stuff. I concentrate now on score writing and I would love to get back into film again. Here are a few positive things that were said;" The thing I like most about Chris' piece is its orchestration. Alaimo has a firm grip on the subtleties of classic Romantic orchestration and color"-Tony Lanman, " Chris Alaimo excels at composition. He's excellent at layering his music."-Clint Gaige, and my favorite review was of movement 2 of my "Art of Suicide" string quartet;" To pull off something this expressive and sonically deceptive on this equipment is a very impressive feat, and my compliments to Mr. Alaimo for his work. Excellent recording, twisted, perverse Composition and compelling performance. I highly recommend listening to this piece and Mr. Alaimo's other work. Go. Listen. Now...and be afraid."-Lorin Swelk.

The titles of my pieces are a little nuts but there is alot of humor there. For an easier listen try " The River" or "Quartet No. 4" For something more riveting try
" The art of Suicide" or "The Day The Angels Fell"
