"Paola Prestini is a brilliant young composer born in Italy and raised in Mexico. A graduate of Julliard, she is the founder and director of the award-winning interdisciplinary performing collective VisionIntoArt. Her work is sensual and heartfelt, touching upon minimalism, film soundtracks and the American avant-garde tradition. Her first cd presents a stunning group of compositions for multiple celli, voices and percussion, clarinets, electronics, a moody piece for solo piano and a new work composed expressly for this release. Absolutely beautiful music by a fresh young compositional voice!"
