Mehdi

Multi Instrumentalist / Composer Mehdi bridges the gap between contemporary instrumental and alternative music. His Gold selling albums have won him recognition worldwide as a musical genius whose talents encompass both recordings and the concert stage. Mehdi has opened for Cirque Du Soleil and the California Philharmonic Orchestra. He uses concerts as an opportunity to “create vivid musical pictures” and transports his audiences on a breathtaking odyssey of the mind, body and soul.

To understand how Mehdi evolved into one of the best-loved contemporary recording artists, one need only to take a few steps back to the early years.

David Arkenstone

After coming to California from outside of Chicago at age 10, David Arkenstone immersed himself in all the music he could find. Spending high school and college in various bands and performance groups, he then criss-crossed the country several times playing popular music. He finally settled down to concentrate on developing his own sound, and when computers and instruments could finally communicate to each other, David knew his time had come. He could now hear a good portion of what he could imagine.

“Technology has produced some wonderful tools for making music. The computer allows me to fully orchestrate my pieces and really fine tune them,” said David.

David’s music has recently been described as Cinematic new age rock. “It is sometimes difficult to categorize my music and this is a term I can live with,” David responded.


“I enjoy bringing many different influences together in my music,” he continues. World music, classical rock, and new age are some of the styles I draw from and enjoy weaving into an entertaining and adventurous whole.

“I have always loved the sound of the orchestra. Now I believe I have refined a wonderful blend combining the best elements of the acoustic world, with the electronic world.”

When not chained to his Apple Macintosh composing, David likes to play baseball, create 3-D art projects, and write screenplays.

Suzanne Ciani

Suzanne Ciani is a pioneer in electronic music and one of the few women to blaze a trail in the genre. She received classical music training at Wellesley College and obtained her M.A. in music in 1970 at University of California at Berkeley where she met and was influenced by the idiosyncratic synthesizer designer Don Buchla. In 1974 she formed her own company, Ciani/Musica, and, using a Buchla Analog Modular Synthesizer, began scoring television commercials for Coca-Cola, Merrill Lynch, AT&T and General Electric. Besides music, her specialty was reproducing sound effects on the synthesizer that recording engineers had found difficult to record properly; if you heard a bottle of Coke being opened and poured on the radio or on television during the late ’70s, you were probably hearing Ciani’s work. Such was the demand for her services that at one point she was doing up to fifty sessions a week. Her sound effects also appeared in video games (the pinball game Xenon even featured her voice).


Besides the commercials, Ciani scored the Lily Tomlin movie The Incredible Shrinking Woman, and Mother Teresa, as well as scored for the TV daytime serial (“soap opera”) One Life to Live.

In 1977, Suzanne Ciani provided the sound effects for Meco’s disco version of the Star Wars soundtrack, which was certified platinum. In 1982 she began to record a series of albums in the new age genre, characterized by a mix of electronic and traditional instruments.
