For reasons unknown but time will tell...
Multi-instrumentalist, all types of music, all types of methods.
Occasional collaborations with other artists.
Sometimes I post the sheet music if it's piano.
Lately, my favorite instrument is a TE OP-1 Field keyboard.

A performing musician in much demand as  a piano accompanist comfortable in both jazz and classical music styles.  He. had held many residencies and led bands in Australia and oversea. 

Recently recording in the jazz idiom in either trio or quartet form and sharing to SoundCloud. 

Rick teaches piano, clarinet and saxophone and doubles on the latter  two. 

When not teaching at school or being  the accompanist for De La Salle College or the Athenaeum Choir he is performing at jazz venues both here and soon at a new jazz club venture in Vietnam. 

He is frequently collaborating with some of Melbourne’s leading classical exponents of Lieder and more. 

Enjoy!

Hi! I'm David De Quinto, a passionate and multifaceted composer. My main motivation for creating music is to express my moods. Throughout my career, I have learned and composed classical and tonal music, and gradually, I have been experimenting with other compositional forms such as modes, exotic scales, pitch class set, Bartók's axes, cardinal points, and atonalism.

I had the privilege of learning harmony and tonal composition, as well as jazz, from the great composer, bassist, choir and orchestra director, and excellent teacher Julio Blasco, to whom I am deeply grateful for his teachings. Additionally, I explored new sonorities and discovered the works of Bartók, Philip Glass, among many others, atonal music, and musique concrète through my instrumental training and music didactics professor, Nieves Hernández, whose guidance has been invaluable.

I love composing ethereal and ambient music, though I often return to my classical roots with its characteristic instrumentation. Synthesizers are essential in my compositions as they allow me to explore unique textures and atmospheres.

At 51 years old, life has greatly influenced my musical career, providing me with a variety of both good and bad experiences. My musical influences include artists like Brian Eno, John Carpenter, Paul McCartney, Jean-Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Aphex Twin, Nacho Goberna, Mike Oldfield, Erik Satie, Kebu, and Arvo Pärt.

The genres I enjoy composing the most vary depending on my mood, but I often lean towards creating sad and melancholic pieces. I enjoy composing and listening to lofi, ambient, dark ambient, ambient black metal, minimalist music, psybient, illbient, and dark wave. I am particularly proud of "Veil of Mist" and "Arabian Nights" because they explore atmospheres that are different from what I usually compose, and I believe they turned out quite well.

Currently, I have several projects in mind, including creating a series of symphonic poems for 4 or 5 synthesizers and for flute, violin, viola, cello, and piano. I am also exploring synthwave composition and have several pending collaborations that I am excited about.

At this stage of my life, my biggest dream is to compose music that expresses my feelings, and it brings me joy when listeners can decipher the emotions I try to convey with my compositions. Besides music, I enjoy writing short stories, especially horror, and listening to a lot of music, as music is life for me.

I began in music as a form of personal expression, finding it easier to compose a piece to explain how I feel than to say it in words, as I am a person of few words. I invite you to immerse yourself in my musical world and join me on this sonic journey. I hope you enjoy my compositions as much as I enjoy creating them. Thank you for listening!

This is now a journey to find Truth, Please join my quest for the Truth, whatever it may be, find it we will...100% Improvisation, no filter...No AI, C*nt can F*ck Off!

See what’s on my liked music list to heal your soul.
