Persistent Management welcomes Arturo Cardelús to the family:
Composer and pianist Arturo Cardelús is a rising talent in the film industry and the world of concert music. Arturo's piano performance studies in his native Spain, in Hungary, and at London's Royal Academy of Music led him to his true passion: composition. Arturo undertook further studies of composition and film scoring at Boston's Berklee College of Music, graduating summa cum laude. Arturo currently lives in Los Angeles, where he is scoring Tangernación, his first feature film.
Arturo hails from the world's top music academies. He studied at Salamanca's Conservatorio Superior de Música, where he received a Graduate Degree in Piano Performance with the highest honors. After further studies with Kornel Zempléni at the Franz Liszt Academy, Hungary's most prestigious music academy, Arturo enrolled in London's renowned Royal Academy of Music. At the Royal Academy, Arturo earned a Postgraduate Diploma in Performance under the supervision of Colin Stone. Arturo's passion for film and and composition next took him to Berklee College of Music, where his studies were underwritten by scholarships from Berklee and the Spanish Association of Performers (AIE).
Here is the video clip to Arturo's latest creation entitled 'The Dark Passenger' performed by the Macedonian Radio Symphonic Orchestra conducted by Oleg Kondratenko Music by Arturo Cardelús

Hailing from Australia and residing in Los Angeles, Satellite Sky is the musical vision of siblings Pete Kicks (vocals/guitar) & Kim Kicks (drums). It sees an exploration of their rock n roll influences with a grandiose flavor akin to artists such as The Verve and Bowie, while drawing on raw elements of Supergrass and The Hives.
Working with producer Paul Lani (U2, Bowie, Prince, Rod Stewart), Satellite Sky has created an emotive soundscape that is both dynamic and ambient. 2011 has already seen the Band tour throughout the U.S, including several standout showcases at SxSW in Austin, Texas and CMJ Festival in New York. They have significantly increased their reputation as a formidable songwriting force and their self-titled debut EP has been widely acclaimed by both industry and fans alike. Released in May, it is now available internationally through iTunes. Two of the tracks, ‘I Like It’ and ‘With You’ can be heard in L.A Film Festival winner ‘Almost Kings’ (2011). The Band will also feature in the forthcoming music documentary ‘Rockin The Wall’.
Satellite Sky will be performing their last show of the year at Mr. T's Bowl in Los Angeles this upcoming Friday December 16th at 11:00pm. For more details click here
