Walt Ribeiro (born January 25, 1984) is an American composer of classical music. He was born in New Jersey. His work has been primarily distributed via the internet. His symphony I.I was written for an 80-piece orchestra, but produced using orchestral sampling software.[1] Ribeiro is also notable for his music tutorials available via web sites such as YouTube,[2] which he ended in October 2009. That same year he launched For Orchestra[3] where he arranged pop songs for orchestra. He has arranged covers of songs by Lady Gaga, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Rimsky Korsakov, MGMT and PSY, along with others. It has since been featured on Comedy Central Tosh.O,[4] Perez Hilton (for his Lady Gaga arrangements),[5] Green Plastic (for his Radiohead arrangement)[6] and more. Currently, Ribeiro is producing one song per week.
