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, and the films and tv series I've had the pleasure to score.

Stay inspired,
Ricardo Curto
