Andrew Skrabutenas, an up and coming film composer originally from
Palo Alto, California, has been composing steadily for both the Film and
Concert worlds since early High School. Currently, Andrew is based out
of Southern California, as he is attending The University of California,
Irvine and majoring in Music Composition.
Andrew began his musical studies with the piano, starting lessons at an
early age. Throughout his years of piano lessons, Andrew showed an
interest in composition that finally culminated in a full blown love of the art.
During High School, Andrew began studying composition with a member of
the San Francisco Conservatory of Music Faculty, Alexis Alrich.
In 2005, Andrew was accepted into the first ever Grammy Camp as a Film
Scoring participant. During his time at Grammy Camp, Andrew was exposed
to the inner workings of Film Music with talks and meetings with notable
members of the industry. At the end of the camp, a cue that Andrew had
written over the course of the week was recorded by a session orchestra on
the Newman Scoring Stage at 20th Century Fox.
Currently, as a B.M. in Composition at U.C.I, Andrew studies with Professors Chris Dobrian and Michael Dessen.
Throughout his composing career, Andrew has consistently focused on scoring films, providing music for over twenty student and independent films in the past three years, as well as music for an Internet comedy series.
In the concert world, Andrew blends the contemporary and the classical, creating a sound truly original and fresh. He has done numerous orchestrations, written works for string quartets, trios, and instrumental solos, as well as pieces for choir, percussion, and full orchestra.
