.about
Cuban-American post-minimalist composer Orlando Jacinto Garcia — is a leading voice in contemporary classical and post-Feldman music with 200+ works, 5 Latin Grammy nominations. A leading composer in the Feldman tradition of time-suspended, texture-based new music and working in the post-minimalist lineage that prioritizes stasis, color, and suspended time over pulse and process, Garcia is among the most significant composers extending Feldman’s legacy of radically slow, atmospheric music.
