Biography

Robert Hunt began studying jazz improvisation with Sonny Saul, a student of Dennis Sandole, when he was 12 years old and began composing and recording his own music while attending the Performing Arts School in Philadelphia. He studied classical piano with Nelly Berman and Leonid Grin and was a founding member of several bands and music ensembles that performed and recorded extensively. Early in his career he recorded and produced hip-hop artists at DJ Jazzy Jeff's studio in Gladwyne, PA. The layering techniques he learned and used during this time has greatly influenced his music. Robert has composed for small and large ensembles and his compositions have been described as electroacoustic, minimalist, repetitive and polyphonic. In 2000 he began collaborating with filmmakers composing scores for their films. He plays the piano and synthesizer and considers the synthesizer to be an instrument unto itself and not a replacement for acoustic instruments.
