Patrick Gutman, PhD, is a classically trained composer and pianist who creates music for a variety of mediums, including Film, Concert, Electronic, and Ambient/Meditative settings. Patrick's musical interests, ranging from classical and film to rock, ambient, and electronic dance music, inspire him to mix these styles and produce genre-expanding music rich in storytelling. He brings emotional sensitivity and awareness to his compositions, allowing him to craft specific and intentional pieces of music that reflect his diverse background and interests. As a composer, Patrick has scored dozens of short films, both animated and live action, and written music for commercials. In Fall 2015, he released his first album, featuring piano and electronic-based music for meditation. The following year, the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles commissioned him to compose a song for Bloomsday, an international celebration of James Joyce's life and writings. In spring 2017, Patrick received the Hugo Davise Fund for Contemporary Music at UCLA and premiered his piece, Play-Etude, with the NOW Ensemble, a contemporary new music group based in New York. As a pianist, Patrick has performed throughout Southern California as an accompanist, solo artist, and recording session player. He has also won several piano competitions, including the MTAC (Music Teachers Association of California) Southern California Adult Piano Performance competition. As a young child Patrick began piano lessons at the age of 8, and by his pre-teens started writing electronic beats on the computer. With a passion for film music, Patrick began creating piano arrangements of film scores and started writing his first songs in high school. His love for writing led him to study piano performance and music composition at Chapman University’s Conservatory of Music. He then pursued advanced studies, earning a Master’s of Music in Composition at Cal State University, Northridge, and ultimately a PhD in Music Composition from UCLA.
