about
Rob Schwimmer is a composer-pianist and thereminist who has performed and recorded throughout the world. His work has been described as "... a brilliant meld of musical discipline, sensuality, technical acumen, and freedom" —A combination that has made Rob's debut solo piano album Beyond The Sky so highly anticipated. His personal vision of music reflects a unique and probing sensibility combined with his vast experience in many genres with great and fascinating artists. Rob is also one of the few theremin virtuosos in the world, performing as featured theremin soloist for many projects including the upcoming movie by R.W. Goodwin (producer/ director/ writer of X-Files) "Alien Trespass", Matthew Barney's epic movie Cremaster 3, CBS television series Now and Again and A&E's Breakfast With the Arts (as well as giving Sara Fishko a theremin lesson on the nationally broadcast Studio 360 on NPR). He is an original member of the NY Theremin Society and was one of the chosen participants in the historic (and sold out) 10 Piece Theremin Orchestra at Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles. His previous CD Theremin Noir featured pianist Uri Caine and violinist Mark Feldman. His compositions have been featured in theater, television series and movies, documentaries and feature films including "Freeheld" Sundance Special Jury Prize 2007, and 2008 Academy Award Winner for Documentary Short (composer), and "Dear Diary" (Dreamworks SKG first Oscar w. Bebe Neuwirth) Academy Award Winner, Best
