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.

Raul Yanez musical background spans jazz, latin, funk, hip hop and symphony orchestra. His strong work ethic, diverse skill set and passion for all kinds of music drives him forward as a musician, composer and all around artist.

Raul Yanez has been playing piano for over 25 years with 10 years of classical piano training. He can also play guitar, bass and percussion. He has taught jazz classes at ASU, worked with bands such as Sister Sledge, jazz artists like Joey Defrancesco and Jimmy Smith, vocalists, choirs and symphonic orchestras like C.P.R., Tuscon, and ASU, composed numerous pieces, some presented during international appearances in Hong Kong, Singapore, Jakarta, Japan, Thailand, Mexico and the US.

Yanez has always had a love for the roots of music and is now able to take that to a whole new level. First, working with DJ Radar on the transcription of musical track, Antimatter (Deep Concentration 3/oM records), and now completing the entire transcription and composition of the Concerto for Turntable, he is building the foundation of a new genre of music.

On the evening of March 7th, 2001 at Gammage Auditorium in Tempe, AZ, the history of electronic and classical music changed forever. This was the first time that a turntable was featured as a melodic instrument in a classical orchestra setting. Achieved was the ability to blend the voice of the turntable with the other orchestral instruments. Concerto for Turntable is an original composition specifically written for a single turntable to be the solo instrument within an entire symphony orchestra.

Playing as a collective, but seeking individualists, The Red Bull Artsehcro is in search of sixty innovative and dynamic classical musicians to perform the world premier of the Concerto For Turntable with DJ Radar. Drawing from classical performers who crave to break away from the status quo, the Red Bull Artsehcro will hold auditions in Boston, Philadelphia and New York to form the most progressive non-conformist orchestra to date.
