RPM's Remixed

Laura Escude (aka Violentfingers|http://violentfingers.com) works in the audio industry, composing and doing sound design for TV and film. She recently finished sound design work for the films Stealth and Lovewrecked, which are out this summer. A classically trained violinist, she earned a B.A. in violin from Florida State University with an emphasis in commercial music. Currently, she plays first violin with the Santa Monica Symphony, and has performed at KXLU 88.9, KUCI Irvine 88.9, KSPC 88.7, WMNF 88.5, the LA Art Fest, the Apple Store and Create Fixate, to name a few. Laura mixes synthesized sounds with midi pedals and violin effects to create her original electronic style. Her newest toy is a midi glove, which allows her to control changes in the sounds of her violin realtime. Although mostly human, she considers herself a fyborg, which is a term that is a portmanteau of “functional” and “cyborg”. Laura is busy exploring the Los Angeles music scene and looks forward to performing her cinematic sounds around the globe.
