Polygon: A non-linear exploration of three lives (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781986549608)

Doug Ordunio was born in Glendale, California. A student at Glendale College and Cal State Northridge, he majored in musical composition and voice. From 1973-1986 he was the FM Programmer of what was the only commercial classical music station in Los Angeles, KFAC AM-FM. For the last eight years he was a member of the station's prestigious announcing staff. During that time, he produced and hosted some of the most unique programs in the history of the station, including the unusual combination of popular, jazz, classical music and poetry (read by Carl Princi) "Global Village." He hosted the shows "At Home With", "KFAC Musical Theatre", "Crossroads of Music", and the talk show "KFAC Artsline". He created and produced a monumental series of five 4-hour programs known as "The Circular Path". These shows concerned the entire history of classical music beginning with the first sound many of us ever heard, the sound of a mother's aortic pulse recorded within the uterus, through the contemporary classical music of the time (1982). He worked as a professional singer in many churches around Southern California for twenty years. In addition, he performed with the Duke Ellington Band in 1974 (when Duke was still living), the NY City Opera in Boito's "Mefistofele", and the Greek Theater Opera. He was also a program annotator who wrote over 300 articles about classical music. His employers in this regard included UCLA Center for the Performing Arts, Ojai Music Festival, Pasadena Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, and the Ambassador Foundation. His voice has been heard on numerous audiobooks. From 1989-2005, he worked for AEI and DMX Inflight, creating thousands of musical and talk programs for the world's commercial airlines. In 1989, he became the producer of the popular syndicated radio program, The Romantic Hours, hosted by concert pianist Mona Golabek. In 2018, the show still continues. Although he began to write poetry in 1981, since 2005, he has devoted much of his time to writing. His poetry book, Murmurationis (2008) is available at amazon.com, as well as his saga of four hoboes, RAILS (2008). Crossings was published in 2010. Sacrifice to Venus was released in 2012. Polygon will be released in May 2018. He continues to create music and videos. He has also written two books about non-linear narrative cinema: "Liquid Reality" and "Liquid Reality Volume 2".
