Robert Allaire is an eclectic composer for film, video games, dance, and the concert hall who has enjoyed numerous fruitful collaborations with many talented filmmakers, gamemakers, and choreographers.

In 2009 he teamed up with developer Improbable Sciences to realize his concept for an interactive composition and musical memeory game, which was released on the Apple app store as 8 Track Mind and nominated for the 2009 Best App Ever's Best Music Game.

His filmography includes numerous shorts, animations, independent features, and experimental films. Recent collaboraters include award winning director Fady Hadid (Hometown Baghdad - 2007, Where We Live - 2010), and he is currently working with experimental filmmaker Betzy Bromberg (Darkness Swallowed - 2006).

In his concert work he has explored ideas about interactive musical forms, interactive musical installations, performance art, the inclusion of theatre and dance elements into musical works, and immersive musical experiences. Robert’s music has been performed around the United States, including at Mill’s College, the California Institute of the Arts, the International Computer Music Conference in NY, and the Center for Advanced Musical Studies at Chosen Vale by groups such as the New Century Players, the California E.A.R. Unit, the CalArts Chamber Orchestra, the Formalist Quartet, and as part of Vox Novus's 60x60 Series.

Robert is also an enthusiastic accordionist, having performed at REDCAT (housed in downtown Los Angeles's Disney Concert Hall) with the California E.A.R. Unit, and after hours can be found rocking the keytar as half of NES-fueled, chiptune dance party duo Beta to the Max, who released their debut EP, UPC_EP, in early 2010.

A graduate of the MFA program in music composition at the prestigious California Institute of the Arts, Allaire has had the pleasure of studying with composers David Rosenboom, Michael Jon Fink, Ulrich Krieger, Anne Le Baron, and others.

Robert currently resides in Los Angeles.
