I compose music and several songs that I have written were inspired by poems, including those by Pablo Neruda and Antonio Skarmeta.
As a composer, I am fortunate to have collaborated with incredibly talented artists from all around the world. This includes my latest album with the truly extraordinary soprano Maribel Villarroel and the masterful arranger and pianist René Calderón for 'Canciones para Pablo Neruda.' These songs are based on the poems of the great Pablo Neruda, and permission has been granted by the Pablo Neruda Foundation. Please listen, Maribel is a tour de force and her and René's interpretation of Neruda and these songs is so heartfelt. I am so deeply moved and appreciative of their artistry.
Other albums are 'Entre Jupiter y Marte,' and 'Reflections.' The remarkable tenor Ricardo Tamura, accompanied by the accomplished pianist Lucy Arner, performed 'Entre Jupiter y Marte'. Ricardo and Lucy are both amazing. These songs were co-written with the acclaimed author Antonio Skarmeta, which is my most special and dear honor. 'Reflections' is a collection of my earlier works that were wonderfully interpreted by the gifted pianist Javier Gonzales.

And Curt did well; you really have a great talent. It is interesting and beautiful how you manage to blend different styles in a logical whole (classical and romantic in the Kites, epic and romantic in the Betrayal, and impressionistic and romantic in most other compositions). It is just my amateur opinion but I think you should keep going :)
