Film Composer and Music Producer known for contributing music to films ranging from Spotlight to The Hobbit Trilogy.

Gabriel Lubell (b. 1983) is a theorist, astronomer, and composer of musical esoterica, a term here used to include works for string quartet, orchestra, elevator, carillon, computer, voices, and other such things. His music has been performed throughout the United States and Europe by numerous soloists and ensembles, including the String Orchestra of Brooklyn, Intercontinental Ensemble, Tesla Quartet, and Barkada Quartet. He frequently collaborates with professionals in fields related to his compositions, leading to well-informed pieces that seek to both inform and arouse curiosity about the mysteries of the world, big and small. As a scholar, Lubell’s research focuses on issues of sound, space, and experience, with a particular interest in how albums operate as complete artistic works. He is currently developing a book on the topic, and has presented papers about albums by the Beatles and Pink Floyd in print and at international conferences. Outside of his musical life, he has published scientific papers on topics related to galactic structure and the stellar populations of evolved globular clusters. Always excited about connecting dots, he has combined these diverse interests through research on the sonification of astrophysical data, interdisciplinary course offerings, and his own recording projects. Lubell earned a doctorate in music composition from the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, where he currently teaches. He also holds a master’s in astronomy from IU, and an undergraduate degree from Vassar College. In addition to IU, he has held teaching positions at Knox College, Macalester College, and Kenyon College.
