But it's only one part of our integrated approach: building audiences and careers through increased visibility and enhanced presentation. DOTDOTDOTMUSIC is the brainchild of Steven Swartz. Trained as a composer, with a PhD in composition under principal teacher Morton Feldman, Steven's background includes journalism, radio, the recording industry, and PR. Prior to founding DOTDOTDOTMUSIC in 2006,
he spent sixteen years as the director of publicity at Boosey & Hawkes, where he developed strong relationships with music journalists in every major North American market. He has been active in developing new digital tools for publicity and promotion, giving seminars to both emerging musicians and seasoned professionals. In addition to carrying out highly successful campaigns for Kronos Quartet, Eighth Blackbird, Wild Up, The Industry,and other new music powerhouses, Steven takes a strong interest in emerging artists. In a 2007 article in MUSO magazine, he anticipated the rise of today's thriving indie-classical scene, in which DOTDOTDOTMUSIC has played a major supporting role. Based in Brooklyn, NY, DOTDOTDOTMUSIC serves clients from coast to coast, and across the Atlantic as well. Along with our international initiatives, we have conducted highly successful, locally-focused campaigns in markets around the country.
