Welcome to SonaKinesis.com

Multi-Instrumentalist, Sound Designer, and Composer Marc S. Langelier has worked with modern dancers for 20 years. He is currently an accompanist for the VCU Dept. of Dance and Choreography. He also works with The University of Richmond, The Starr Foster Dance Project, the Richmond Ballet, The Latin Ballet of VA., St. Christopher's School, and Henrico High School. Actively sought as a composer for Modern Dance, he has worked with many Choreographers over the years. Some more recent compositions include - "Closer" (Starr Foster), "Pushing Time" (Scott Putman), "M" (Chris Burnside), "Beautiful Giants" (James Frazier), "Tolerance of Being" & "Tracks thru the Dreaming Grounds"*** (Judith Steel), and "Horizons" (Myra Daleng). (***"Tracks Thru the Dreaming Grounds" was co-composed with Cory Blake.)
"Closer" was performed at University of Richmond Feb. 23rd - 26th, 2006. Marc composed this music for the band Rattlemouth (Cunieform). This will be a live performance.

Autumn of 2005 brought Marc and long-time friend and musical collaborator Robbie Kinter (Rattlemouth, Ululating Mummies) to the attention of choreographer Robert Battle. He immediately asked them to compose music for a piece he was setting on VCU dance students. Marc and Robbie performed “Virginia Reel” with dancers at the Grace St. Theater March 1st - 4th, 2006. In addition, Marc and Robbie will compose for Choreographer Robert Battle again in Autumn 2006 via a grant from the University of Richmond.
***Marc and Robbie have also composed for and performed with ClancyWorks. ***Visit Clancyworks.com to see a trailer from one of our collaborations.

In addition to working with Modern Dancers, Marc also has a handful of video credits. Airing on PBS, music for "Deconstructed Dialogues" was composed by Marc Langelier, Robbie Kinter, Danny Finney (Orthotonics, Ululating Mummies, Rattlemouth, HotelX), and Jerome Begin. This project was essentially the rebirth of the Band Rattlemouth (Cunieform). Although Jerome Begin left shortly after for New York, the trio was soon joined by guitarist/composer George Lowe (Ululating Mummies, Rattlemouth, HotelX). Rattlemouth has since composed music for a VCU school of the Arts promo video which can be viewed at http://www.pubinfo.vcu.edu/artweb/podcasts/SneakPeek.mp4, and for videographer Pam Turner's "Between Frames". Robbie Kinter's composition for Starr Foster's dance video "Seven Sisters" was performed and recorded by Rattlemouth.
