Bio
Angela Chang
Taras is a fantastic artist to collaborate with. He crafted the soundscape for the Reveal Fashion Show at the MIT Media Lab in 2012. He created a vibrant soundscape that matched the mood of the show, and responded to the models as they appeared. We had a fantastic time in time to the zenlike energy of Taras' composition. He also helped us make the post-production fashion show video. His philosophy on how people respond and control music was fascinating and I highly recommend his skills for any creative project and we'll definitely collaborate again in the future.
Alexander Tochilovsky
Taras is amongst a select group of people who are incredibly technically proficient and creatively gifted. It's a very rare combination. He has a unique vision and understanding of sound--in the broadest sense of that word, which is not limited to just music, but the soundscape in total. He is also a very efficient and easy-going person, which makes for a very good working dynamic.
