Collaboration Testimonials

“It was a great time brainstorming with Roni. It was interesting to be paired with a total stranger and work in a short amount of time to discover shared interests or experiences. Roni was very good at facilitating the conversations. He was definitely experienced at these sorts of collaborations, so he was able to bring conversation topics back towards the musical goal when necessary.

“Definitely – I would recommend Roni as a composer for the guitar. He is very knowledgeable about the instrument and thusly can take a very practical approach to writing for it. Musically his compositions are ambitious with interesting rhythmic emphasis and extended technique.

“Roni is a very easy person to work with. Our collaboration sessions were fun to participate in, and they had a very clear influence on the final product that he composed. I also commend Roni’s professionalism, during the competition he was very organized and kept appointments. After the festival Roni and I still keep in touch via email, which illustrates that he values his collaborators.”

Craig Winston, guitarist, collaborated on Silhouette of Starlight.

“Desde el primer momento, tuvimos buena conexión y fluyó todo correctamente desde el principio.

“La experiencia de nuestra colaboración me aportó la visión de trabajar un concierto para guitarra solista y orquesta, saliendo del repertorio habitual que un guitarrista está acostumbrado a tocar. En aquellos tiempos todavía era estudiante y este tipo de oportunidades fueron un mundo nuevo y un gran aprendizaje.

“Creo que tanto a nivel personal como profesional eres una grandísima persona, y mantienes lo más importante: ilusión por tu trabajo y los proyectos que lideras. Es esa motivación la que permite que los artistas colaboren con grandes esfuerzos a tu lado y salga una conexión con resultados muy exitosos.

“Muchas gracias por haberme hecho partícipe del estreno de From Shimmers on Dust Clouds.”

– María José Tirado Amador, guitarrista, solista en From Shimmers on Dust Clouds.
