Hi, I’m César del Pino.
I compose artistic music for dancers.
My scores have played in the finals of international dance competitions and been heard live by 4 million + viewers worldwide.
Offstage, I’ve written music for theater, television and radio, and I’ve contributed original tracks to productions for Netflix and HBO, always chasing the exact emotion a story needs.
Since childhood I’ve loved dance; I studied everything from Glazunov’s Raymonda* to the work of Pina Bausch, influences that still guide my phrasing and dynamics today.
My promise: I’ll treat your choreography as if it were my own première.
Why commission a dance score?
Generic tracks force choreography to fit the song. A commissioned dance score lets the music breathe with every extension, sharpens accents, and secures your performance rights forever.
-
downbeats land on your lifts & pauses.
-
no copyright strikes at festivals or streaming.
-
audiences remember your unique sound.
