Nature-inspired, classically-based chamber music, choral pieces, and synthesized ambient tracks, -- quirky rhythms, spicy harmonies, catchy melodic bits

I compose music for chamber groups, orchestra, synthesizers, and off-beat instruments like mandolin ensemble. You'll hear beautiful sounds, dissonant harmonies, quirky rhythms. I'm inspired by nature, poetry, and any old sound - pots and pans, crystal glasses, wind and water, and especially birds. Influences include Bartok and Messiaen, sometimes a little bit of jazz and improvisation.

Story behind the song

Each movement of the Quinteto is based on a poem by Cuban poet Carlos Pintado. In the South Beach performances, he read the poems before each movement, setting an imaginative and reflective mood. In Colours, Pintado thinks about where colors come from, how could we not ask? The music is energetic and "colorful", using the full palette of sounds the strings and piano can make, including inside-the-piano, glissandi, and eerie on-the-bridge playing by the doublebass at the end.
