My name is Rene Armenta and I'm a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist with piano as my focus. Creating music that is evocative, dramatic and emotionally rich is always my focus. I love blending classical sensibilities with modern modalities (and throw in some ethnic spice every now and then). My birth into music was through synthesizers and I am currently finding my blend of acoustic with electronic. I have a long standing dream to team up with a solid female vocalist and create a body of work together. All things are possible.
