Introducing Explore Ecstatic Sensuality host Randolph Pitts as a Classical Composer with excerpts from his Sonate pour Anita DeFrancesco

Randolph Pitts holds Summa Cum Laude degrees in Social Psychology and Egyptology from the University of California Berkeley, and a Masters Degree in Motion Picture Production and Entertainment Law from UCLA. He has also done advanced research for the Department of Psychology at UCLA, concentrating on couples and relationships dynamics. He is a member of Phi Beta Kappa (Alpha of California Chapter) and the American Philosophical Association, the organization of university professors of Philosophy. He is also an associate member of the Los Angeles County Bar Association. Randolph has been a top executive at several entertainment companies, including a ten year stint as Chief Executive Officer of the company that produced Leaving Las Vegas for which Nicolas Cage won the Academy Award as best actor. The first volume of his eagerly anticipated tetralogy of novels will be published during 2022. Pitts' spellbinding novels deal at an unrelenting fever pitch with eroticism, mysticism, terrorism and crime on a global scale. And also… with women and men falling in love.  As a composer he has written pieces in all genres, including works for vocal orchestra and soloists ("A Cabaret for Cesare Pavese," "Der Schatten eines Traumes," "Das Buch der Blauen Rose"), chamber music (strings quartets and a sextet), concertos ("Concerto for String Orchestra," "Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra dedicato ad Anita DeFrancesco"), the large orchestral piece "Love-- for Three Orchestras and Large Organ"), and chamber works for vocalist and small ensemble ("Le sang des rêves.")  Randolph Pitts has a lifelong interest in the relationship between philosophy, psychology and history, with Sigmund Freud and his successors such as Jacques Lacan being an area of concentration.  He is the founder and host of the Explore Ecstatic Sensuality podcast, the number one sex and sensuality podcast in the world.
