The composer from Lanzarote, Nino Díaz, has presented his latest record: “Miniatures”. A project that includes eight chamber music compositions of small format, mostly composed during the pandemic, without the health crisis managing to lull the spirits and creative concerns of the musician.
“Miniatures” is a musical journey that encompasses, from its origins, the sounds that show the artist's personal universe. Díaz himself has been shedding all kinds of artifice to build "his own, eclectic and subtle sound discourse".
Since last February 11, and during the coming months, Nino Díaz's album will be incorporated into the main digital sound platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal and Amazon Music. Nino Díaz's CD can also be purchased on the official website of the Nino Díaz Foundation.
