Martín García García – Silent Music

This piano album presents two profound musical journeys:

The first, “Abstracts”, is a collection of eight original compositions by Martín García García, written in 2020 in New York City during the pandemic. Marking his official Opus 1, these pieces reflect a deeply personal and introspective creative process, capturing the essence of a transformative time.

The second, “Música Callada” by Federico Mompou, is a meditative exploration of silence and stillness. Written between 1959 and 1967, these miniature piano pieces transcend conventional musical structure, offering a quiet, ethereal experience that speaks directly to the soul.

Together, these works invite listeners into a world of introspection, where sound and silence converge in a delicate balance of emotion and artistry.
