| | I compose and record contrapuntal music. Of particular interest to me is the music of J.S.Bach. I render my music with the aid of synthesizers and computers. I have worked with developing synthesizers and new sounds since 1970.
I am looking forward to scoring film, theatrical, dance or video work. I run a recording studio and welcome new projects.
I have developed an analysis scheme based on classical theory integrated with mathematical symmetry theory and the theory of the physics of sound.

| | Born in 1978, Argentina. Rodriguez spent most of his life in Spain (island of Majorca), arriving there in 1988. From an early age, he started to study modern and classical music. Rodrigo started his professional musical career in Spain, he came across his first Asian instrument the Shakuhachi flute (a Japanese bamboo flute, used by Buddhist monks in meditation practices). Fascinated by the Japanese music, he travelled to Japan several times to learn more.
He studied with Grand Master, Kaoru Kakizakai in the International Shakuhachi Kenshu-kan School and travels around the world learning traditional instruments from Japan, China, India, Iran to Thailand. He began showing interest in tradicional and ethnic musical instruments before he reached teenagehood. Rodriguez' compositions can be divided into three basic categories, New Age, World Music, and Contemporary music. From his earliest years Rodrigo had a vision for imitating the music and sounds he heard in his mind, since he traveled widely, he acquired a rare collection of experiences from which to create his unique compositional language
Since 2004, Rodrigo has been the first musician in Japan to introduce innovated and developed instruments from European countries (Hang Drum), which significantly influenced to his music, composition and Japanese audiences altering the perception and textures of 21st century sounds.
His concept is not to use those instruments in a native way, respecting the own spirit of each instrument, and does not forget his roots as Spanish musician. In 2006 some of the pieces of the album "Inner Thoughts" was licensed, arousing interest of a recognized record company, Gemini Sun Record based in Los Angeles, CA. Rodrigo has in recent years performed numerous concerts in the West and East, at legendary stages like Imperial Hotel Tokyo and NHK Culture Center of Japan.

| | I was Trained in classical piano at an early age, but forcibly, so I hated it. Wasn't until about age 17 that I rediscovered the piano on my own (Grandma's baby grand) and rekindled my love for music, and opened the creative doors within myself. Bought a Roland linear synth shortly thereafter, and went nuts. Played keyboard for a Rock band, and recorded abstract stuff with another keyboardist, using an early MOOG synth, and an old ARP Oddysey. Put together a blues band with Gerry Ellenson (he's one of your reviewers here) called "Swine Blue", and had the time of my life. We've collaborated on a few MIDI's recently. Since that magic day on Grandma's baby grand, 23 years ago, I have become quite adept at playing the guitar (12 string acoustic, 6 string classical and an electric (Fender Strat), somewhat adept with the violin (4 of 'em), alto and tenor saxophone, harmonica (blues harp), and most recently, the computer. I do most of my sequencing with cakewalk, but also employ various other multitrackers including N-Track studio, as well as a myriad of sequencers, and other music related software for composition. The PC opened a lot of doors for me, musically. I'm a web developer by trade ( www.artfulspider.com ), and have a built-in need for creative expression, which I feed regularly. On the job, my efforts are primarily visual, but in the wee hours of the night, I make music until I pass out in my chair. Favorite music includes anything by Rick Wakeman, Pink Floyd, The Mighty Flyers, Yes, Kansas, ELP, Pat Methany, Lyle Mays, Thelonius Monk, Al Dimeola, and Beethoven.

| | David Rubenstein learned the fundamentals of music theory, performance, improvisation, arranging and composition under the tutelage of jazz pianist Earl Abrams. He began composing piano solo pieces as a teenager. More recently he has been taking additional courses in composition from professors from Catholic University. He also has studied a number of books on the subjects of composition, arranging and orchestration.
Altogether, David Rubenstein has composed over seventy pieces for all sizes of ensembles, ranging from duets, trios, up to full orchestras. He has produced four CD's featuring his music. His music has been performed in local concerts in the Washington, DC area. His music has also been used for a theater production, and for many multi-media applications, including web pages, CD-ROM's, and computer animations. Many of his compositions can be found in midi, sheet music, and MP3 formats at http://www.erols.com/druben. He is a member of the Montgomery County Composers Society. Currently, his major project is a musical, in collaboration with Canadian playwright/musical director David Runions.
Much of David Rubenstein's music is reminiscent of classical tonal music written in the first half of the twentieth century. His Cold Starry Night is an orchestral tone poem in an impressionistic style. His compositions Jovial Pursuit and Rebirth have a jazzy feeling, not unlike Gershwin's instrumental music. His orchestral pieces Thank You for Not Laughing, March of the Bureaucrats and Troublemaker, his chamber piece Scalawag Takes a Catnap, and song The Power of Music are filled with tongue-in-cheek satire. His four-movement composition Sea of Tranquility won the 1998 Song of the Year award from Electronic Music Forum.
Dr. Rubenstein received a B.S. in physics and astronomy in 1975 from University of Maryland, and a Ph.D. in astro-geophysics in 1979 from University of Colorado. He presently works as a research oceanographer, and lives in Herndon, Virginia.
