Sixteen pieces for the days the muses stay. A beguiling dance, a loquacious daydream, pure freedom. Tranquil Wisdom is the short one that still holds a scene.

I’m David Rivera. American neoclassical composer. Seven piano and ambient albums that fuse minimalism and electronica. The music is piano at heart. Subtle melodies for overlooked moments, sometimes with ethereal instruments, vocals, or synths. Piano music by David Rivera, American composer.

I’m back at the instrument. Stay with the muses for now. New music is on the way. Keep an ear out.
