About this user

A pioneer in the use of computers in performance, beginning in the late 1970s, Rolnick has often included unexpected and unusual combinations of materials and media in his music. He has performed around the world, and his music has appeared on 16 CDs.

Though much of Rolnicks work has been in areas which connect music and technology, and is therefore considered in the realm of experimental music, his music has always been highly melodic and accessible. Whether working with electronic sounds, improvisation, or multimedia, his music has been characterized by critics as sophisticated, hummable and engaging, and as having good senses of showmanship and humor.

Rolnick teaches at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY, where he was founding director of the iEAR Studios.
