Dolores began studying the guitar and fretless bass about 20 years ago and it opened her ears up to the compromises of equally tempered keyboards and fretted guitars.<\/p>\n
She attended the Encore program at Musicians Institute from 1999 through 2000. Dolores credits the program in helping her progress her study of keyboards, midi\/technology, jazz improvisation, bass and guitar, and attend some amazing special lectures. Dolores said of her time at MI,<\/p>\n
\u201cDan Gilbert was formative to my understanding of the guitar in his approach toward guitar technique as an overlapping geometry of fretboard \u2018shapes\u2019. This was a fundamentally different perspective from my prior woodwind and keyboard studies. It was this diversity that enabled me to create a technical system for the new keyboard controller designs to come.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Since her time at MI, Dolores has become known as a microtonal composer and multi-instrumentalist at the forefront of exploring the future of music. In 2016, her expertise led her to host a popular TEDx Talk on the concept of polychromatic music, and exploring how music would sound with 106 notes per octave.<\/p>\n
Her innovation in music recently garnered her a Rasmuson Foundation Artist Fellowship in Music Composition. With the Rasmuson fellowship, Dolores plans to begin new explorations in utilizing the voice and chromatic acoustic\/electronic instruments in polychromatic compositions.
