Bio: Chris Kubie: The Maestro and The Mackies
By Chuck Nyren

Film and television composer Chris Kubie has been clouding the difference between sampled and they're-really-in-a-studio arrangements for years. While listening to his lush, slightly quirky scores you're never sure if you're hearing an actual orchestra with a few oddball instruments thrown into the blend – or pure electronic dazzle.

He's gonna get mad at us. Here's the truth: Ninety-nine times out of a hundred it's pure dazzle. When complex, succulent music is needed and the budget allows for only a kazoo and three triangles, more and more New York producers are crying out, "Get Chris!"

So Virtual Maestro Kubie is pretty busy. His music enhances Discovery Channel's The Justice Files , and projects for HBO (Bobby Kennedy: In His Own Words), A&E, PBS (The People's Palace: Secrets of the New York Public Library), The Learning Channel, and American Movie Classics. The latest aired special was AMC's Radio City Music Hall: The Story Behind The Showplace. This astonishing original soundtrack replicated half a dozen different orchestra styles through the decades.
