Benjamin Shwartz: "I'm a musician born in Mexico City. I mainly play viola and piano, but also compose music for film and television shows. I just recently finished KM31, Without Return, the sequel to the original horror film by Director Rigoberto Castañeda out later this month.

I also I have a band called Klezmerson that combines rock, jazz with traditional Mexican and Jewish music influences. With that band I've recorded 5 albums and currently I'm working in the 6th. With Klezmerson I've toured Europe, United States, Canada and Latin America, I own a studio in Mexico called "La Caja Acustica," where I produce and mix other bands as well. I don't think I chose that profession it's just what I've been doing since I can remember.

I think that my specialty is experimental music combining different styles such as traditional Mexican rhythm (Son) with Klezmer (traditional Jewish music), from a contemporary point of view. I'm always searching for new sounds and new approaches.

I am always very comfortable working with orchestras; as a matter of fact I played in one for many years. When it comes to film scoring I try to always use these elements in a non-traditional way."
