LA-based composer, multi-instrumentalist and producer Bryan Senti, is set to release his post-classical debut album ‘Manu’ on the 24th June via French independent, Naïve. A virtuoso violinist, Senti has worked with artists including Dustin O’Halloran, Peter Gregson and Niklas Paschburg and has scored multiple films and TV shows. Senti began studying violin at the age of three and went on to study composition at Yale and Carnegie Mellon in the US. He was the lead composer on the 2021 BAFTA winning series ‘Save Me’ and featured on Dustin O’Halloran’s Deutsche Grammaphon debut ‘Silfur’ as well as Peter Gregson’s latest DG release, ‘Patina’. Senti once again works with themes close to the heart, deftly transforming our understanding of the relationship between neo-classical music and the folk and indigenous music of Latin America – Senti is of Cuban and Colombian decent. “Manu, for me, is a deeply personal record that threads the needle between the western classical music that I was schooled in and the music of my parent’s homelands, Colombia and Cuba, as well as greater Latin America. At the outset of my journey to connect these two worlds was a re-examining of performance practice on my primary instrument, the violin. So much of what is saliently characteristic of folk music is encapsulated in the way it’s played”.
