WELCOME
I believe the inspiration we get from any form of art brings us closer to our truest and most honest self, while helping us connect to each other. As I enjoy the profound experience of creating new music everyday, it would mean the world to me if my work could help to inspire you.

Here you can check out my music for movies and tv, my jazz albums, and my piano libraries.

Stay inspired,
Ricardo Curto
READ FULL BIO
Ricardo Curto is a composer, producer and pianist who writes instrumental music. His music has often been described as sincere, emotional, and immersive.

His last works are the soundtrack for Netflix limited series The Mess You Leave Behind (El Desorden Que Dejas), RTVE series Ana All In (Ana Tramel El Juego) and the last season of Netflix acclaimed series Elite, along with Argentinian composer Lucio Godoy. He also wrote the opening theme for Movistar+ series Instinto.

He has received two nominations at the Hollywood Music In Media Awards, and he has collaborated with ensembles such as the Czech National Symphony Orchestra in Prague and the Hollywood Chamber Orchestra in Los Angeles.
