Alexey Retinsky is an eclectic composer and musician whose works traverse the genre landscapes of symphonic, electroacoustic, and experimental music. Born in 1986 in Sevastopol, Ukraine, Retinsky developed his craft in Moscow and later honed it in Austria, where he studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. His sound is characteristically multispectral, delving into the depths of human emotion through his compositional narrative.

Retinsky's oeuvre stands out in the contemporary music scene for its emotional intensity and intellectual rigor. His recent releases span a variety of forms, from the hauntingly atmospheric original soundtrack for "Medea," which showcases his talent for dramatic scoring, to the intimate and intricate "String Quartet 'C-Dur,'" revealing his deft hand at chamber music composition. Works like "Bird's Dreams" and "Zero Point" are emblematic of his versatility and innovative approach, blending diverse sounds into cohesive auditory experiences. The poignantly titled "De Profundis" and the expansive live expression in "Ultima Thule (Live)" further underscore his ability to resonate with audiences on a profound level, while "...И тропа расширялась." (And the trail expanded) and "Triø" continue to push the boundaries of genre and technique, solidifying Alexey Retinsky as a dynamic and significant voice in the realm of modern music composition.
