Biography:

Rob is a Toronto based Composer and Multi-Instrumentalist who writes music for film and media. Most recently he co-scoring the full-length documentary Town of Widows. As a natural extension from media composing, Rob also writes for his modern classical/ambient-cinematic artist project Music Within. Under the Music Within moniker, Rob approaches ideas as though he’s writing for films that don’t yet exist, or that may only ever live as unique stories within each listener’s mind.

At the most basic level, for Music Within, Rob aims to create emotional cinematic music. From soft, dreamy compositions approaching the realm of ambient, to raw, emotional solo piano and string-based compositions approaching upon classical. It’s an intentionally genre-breaking pursuit allowing room for the whims of inspiration and the excitement of fewer rules.

On July 10th 2020 his latest 4-track EP titled A World Worth Protecting was released. The music was inspired by the natural beauty of our world, by programs like Planet Earth and Our Planet, and by renowned composers like Jóhann Jóhannsson, Steven Price, and Max Richter. Earlier standout albums also include Equanimity (2019) and Finding Stillness (2018).

The music stirs emotions, conjures memories, and underscores daydreams. It encourages listeners to slow down, quiet their minds, reflect, and appreciate the beauty all around us.
