About Arturo Garcia
Arturo Garcia's work embodies the quality of seemingly opposing musical genres, blurring the boundaries of avant garde experimentalism, and contemporary composition, to heavy metal and folkloric music; as he says, 'If there is feeling, music transcends all boundaries.'

He regularly performs his own arrangements and re-compositions of legendary films works such as Santa Sangre, Halloween, and Twin Peaks.
Apart from being a composer and performer, he has also been an educator for 15 years, teaching hundreds students, in his private studio and in the classroom.
