About Me |
|
| Film Composer Born 1950 Chris Kubie: The Maestro and The Mackies By Chuck Nyren: "Film and television composer Chris Kubie has been clouding the difference between sampled and they're-really-in-a-studio arrangements for years. While listening to his lush, slightly quirky scores you're never sure if you're hearing an actual orchestra with a few oddball instruments thrown into the blend – or pure electronic dazzle. He's gonna get mad at us. Here's the truth: Ninety-nine times out of a hundred it's pure dazzle. When complex, succulent music is needed and the budget allows for only a kazoo and three triangles, more and more New York producers are crying out, 'Get Chris!' So Virtual Maestro Kubie is pretty busy. His music enhances Discovery Channel's The Justice Files , and projects for HBO (Bobby Kennedy: In His Own Words), A&E, PBS (The People's Palace: Secrets of the New York Public Library), The Learning Channel, and American Movie Classics. The latest aired special was AMC's Radio City Music Hall: The Story Behind The Showplace. This astonishing original soundtrack replicated half a dozen different orchestra styles through the decades." www.ckubie.com for complete bio and many other music samples . "The delicate clarity of Uri's fresh snow flake, the humor and affection from it, to the white dance that follows, comes to life, caught delightfully in Chris Kubie's beautiful music." - Charlotte Zolotow "Film and Television Composer, Chris Kubie writes with poignancy and brilliance of the thirteen seasons of the moon. He has fairly harnessed the wind, stars and rain - all nature - for his instruments." -Jean Craighead George Thanks Arielle for getting this MySpace Music page up and running and maintaining it. Special thanks to Lisette, Lenore and Arielle (the rest of the Kubie family,) for vocals on the "Amsterdam / Strolling in the Bike Lane" demo found right here, exclusively on MySpace Music. Thanks Sarah for your great blog links. This MySpace site is for networking, and has no commercial purpose. Do you have eclectic taste in music? Every person listed as a friend on this site is a musician (with a few exceptions, who are family) and/or musically inclined, and have asked personally for the “add”. I decline “adds” from non-musicians, to reduce "SPAM", and because I use this site as my own personal jukebox. Here I can listen to music that is generally “outside the box” or not readily available anywhere beyond MySpace Music. I welcome requests from musicians, whatever the genre. Here is some of my favorite music from my friends MySpace Music sites, most may be linked from the top 40 friends listed below.
