Visionary of the Modern Orchestra
DJ Radar is at the forefront of this revolutionary incorporation. Serving as the focal point and the momentum, he uses his training, knowledge and turntable expertise to complement classical music and progression.
DJ Radar refuses to adhere to artificial musical boundaries and is constantly searching for fresh and innovative ways to blur the lines between genres while bringing his music across the globe with tours in North America, Europe and Japan.
Through his constant search to take his art to the next level DJ Radar has collaborated with Raul Yanez to create an experimentally imaginative musical composition. In addition to their pioneering efforts with the Concerto for Turntable, Radar is the creative force behind "scratch notation."
This system, the first of its kind, documents all of the scratching techniques that can be performed on a turntable and translates them into Western musical notation. This set of symbols, called articulations, maps out a DJ's hand position for each note in a musical score. From Raul and Radar's work, this notation will help validate the turntable as a legitimate musical instrument.
