Mix the dark sexiness of goth, add the glitz and sparkle of glam and the high energy of rock and roll and you have Art Gordon. New and refreshing and electrifying. Born in New York, Art was raised in New Jersey by deaf parents and began singing and playing guitar at an early age; influenced by artists including Jeff Beck, David Bowie, Billy Idol, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. In the 80s, he put together Matriarch, a band that performed at many shows throughout the tri-state club circuit with original material; and opened for many national acts, as well as headlining their own shows. Matriarch also had a song featured on the world famous Club Lamour Rocks lp, which Art penned and was included on the Celluliod Mercenary label; home to the Goo Goo Dolls. Eventually Matriarch disbanded; and Art focused his talent on writing, and composing for film. Being a film composer, is a natural progression for Art and an ambition he has aspired to from the beginning. Art's music is already included in ten indie films and his songs featured in an MTV series as well as ESPN.Art has also been featured on Cindy Margolis radio. Besides the IMBD credits for his work as a composer/songwriter, he is looking forward to expanding his resume and attaining his goal to become a world class film composer. "To be a sought after film composer/sound designer has always been my aspiration. I like to compare painting a picture to the music i write using the colors of sound. I want the listener to feel the emotion, as well as visualize the scene on the screen." To be continued..
