What do you think of this composer?
For a good laugh, check out my posts in the audition room, and tell me exactly how terrible they are :)

absolutely nothing. i have never heard of him. and thus i look in my trusty music dictionary and to find information about this mysterious character and find...absolutely nothing. *comes back to the reality that the oxford dictionary of music is not all-knowing in music* how sad.

Definately interesting composer- seems to enjoiy combining the spanish sounds of the accordion with piano and drumset...  I hae a recording of his Adios Nonino.  It's a little strange, but it's listenable.  I listen in small doses, needless to say  :)
