Juan-Carlos Mackay

My arrangements come in two varieties: Faithful adaptations of the original sources, or explorations of what the original inspires in me. I hope you'll enjoy and find use for both.

Classically/Jazz trained by college, Latin/Rock trained by family, I combine them in all my original works. My goal in my original pieces is to create bridges between genres, while being true to the music in my heart.

Not only do I hope to touch many ears and hearts, I also hope to use music as the basis for a community of active music listeners and writers. I hope to introduce more people to the technical side of composing so people can base their musical tastes and opinions on objective listening, not just a "gut reaction" to what "has a good beat," and so songwriters can amplify their creativity.
