Biography
* 08. 10. 1958.

Michael Jarrell was born in Geneva. Having been attracted to both art and music ("Music was always more important to me... I have hesitated at some point."), he decided on Geneva Conservatory, where he attended the music theory classes of Eric Gaudibert and studied composition under Klaus Huber in Freiburg im Breisgau. ("I owe him everything, especially for his transference of skills."). Between 1986 and 1988 he lived in Paris where he completed a stage in musical information at IRCAM and then in Rome (1988-89 at Medici Villa and the Swiss Institute) where he continued his work on the 'Assonance' series, a sequence drawn from sketchbooks. ("The sketch is a perfectly natural stage in the painting, in which the artist attempts to solve certain problems... These aspects are less manifest in music. This I find regrettable.") From 1991-1993 he was composer in residence with the Lyon National Orchestra. Today Jarrell teaches composition at the Vienna School of Music ("Normally, even before I begin, I can get an overview of what happens on the level of form, motive etc., but for some time now it has been the opposite: I begin and then tend to allow for a more unleashed development.")
