A Letter of Recommendation by Rollan Masciarelli

I must tell you about one of the world's preeminent electronic composers, Michael Robinson. His computer-generated music simply transcends the medium on which it is produced, creating the most subtle and exquisite art/sound. Over the years, Mr. Robinson has recorded forty-two CDs of his computer-generated compositions.

Keyboard and the Los Angeles Times, and many other critics, have all favorably reviewed his elegant compositions, some were so captivated as to the point of becoming effusive in their enthusiasm for this art form. Doubtlessly, Robinson's computer music and some of the forms within which it is expressed points to the future of music in the 21st century. Some listeners loosely classify it as World Music.

If your music department is interested in arranging for Mr. Robinson to present either a concert or a seminar or both, contact him at timevina (at) gmail (dot) com.

Should Mr. Robinson concertize at your school, I am virtually certain that your students would not only be exposed to an absolutely new musical expression, an innovative musical vocabulary, and an aesthetically satisfying event, but also would expand their musical ken.
