RicK

Rick Kellis is currently a graduate student at California State University at Northridge and will obtain his long-sought M.A. in Systematic Musicology (Psychology of Music) at the end of this spring 2008 semester. His area of interest lies in employing natural tonality, achievable through the use of just intonation, to produce optimum consonance, leading to greater resonance. Resonance is a key ingredient in the practice of music therapy and in superstring theory, an area in which a myriad of applications can be envisioned.

After attending the Philadelphia Conservatory, Rutgers University , graduate school at Temple University, the music side of Rick took over, and for the next 35 years he worked in various positions in the business -- from arranger-conductor and music director for such road acts as Tina Turner, to keyboard technician/saxophonist for Gino Vanelli; from synthesizer programmer and piano tuner through MIDI programmer on into media composer/DAW programmer (Pro Tools/Cubase/Logic Pro) in his home studio. Most recently, Rick has been composing for film, producing multi-layered "soundscapes".

These days Rick has been delving into the lowest rung of philosophy -- politics, recognizing the need to return to basics across a wide spectrum of activities, including the re-establishment of the principles contained in America's basic documents, such as the Declaration of Independence and Constitution.
