My name is Francisco Castillo Trigueros. I'm a composer from Mexico City. I've lived 6 years in the US (Boston and Houston) and now I'm in Amsterdam studying with Theo Loevendie in the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.
My music is calm and nostalgic, with occasional bursts of energy. It is static and colorful. We'll see what it becomes in the next few years...Have you performed in front of an audience?Rarely. In 2006 I played my own guitar pieces and this year I have played in two concerts: a live electronics concert of another composer's music playing piano in an ensemble and a composition concert also playing my own piano composition.

In no particular order: Morton Feldman, Gyorgy Ligeti, Salvatore Sciarrino, Ivan Fedele, Giacinto Scelsi, Kaija Saariaho, Oliver Messiaen, Sofia Gubaidulina, Arnold Schoenberg + non-musical influences: Mark Rothko, Xul Solar, Georges Perec, Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino and Pablo Neruda.What equipment do you use?
So far I've written mainly for acoustic instruments (especially strings and piano.) I have also written some pieces with electronics: Max, Pro-tools, Peak.Anything else?
