Thanks for stopping by!

Allow me to use this space for focusing on the art I’d like to share with the world.

And, allow me to introduce myself as AJ Valcin.

I create music and photography with “A2” as an umbrella alias for all my creative projects: A2nelito for instrumental music, A2XLTD for my creative marketing expression.

New York City is my home. Growing up, my mountains were skyscrapers. Yet I also climbed a few mountains and found these just as breathtaking.

And there is plenty to say about everything in between - which I’ve always had some way of documenting. My tinkering with photo and video goes back to elementary; even more time was spent in mediums of creating music.

Both sides of my diverse family are musicians, which inspires my deep interest in discovering music across genres and borders.

The nucleus of my sonic palette is acoustic piano. Under my solo project name A2nelito, I’ve shared Ivory Garden and Ivory Motion for a modern classical approach on pianstrumental (piano instrumental) music.

This is the foundation for my film score library, as I explore a sonic world I’ve created for the world to hear - it’s called FILMHOP.

Film art is my creative happy place. It started with listening to Hans Zimmer scores and wanting to follow suit. It continued with taking filmmaking courses. It continues with shooting 35 mm film, yet also utilizing digital and smartphone mediums.

There are many different types of film art, is what I’m discovering - and the journey continues.

Welcome.
