Pablo Santiago Chin is a composer known for his recontextualization of pre-existing musical works, particularly those that engage aspects of Latin American identity. His approach integrates elements from film, literature, and distinctive transcription methods, exploring and reinterpreting the works of others while resonating deeply with themes of social responsibility and cultural heritage.
Chin's music has been performed across South, Central, and North America, Israel, Asia, and Europe. He has been commissioned by renowned ensembles such as Ensemble Recherche, the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE), and Ensemble Dal Niente. His compositions have been showcased by Ostravská Banda and the Chicago Composers Orchestra, featuring notable artists including Claire Chase and Marino Formenti.
Chin also serves as Artist Teacher and Computer Music Director at the Longy School of Music and is co-founder and former Artistic Director of the new music ensemble Fonema Consort. His discography features Three Burials (2017) and Pasos en otra calle (2014), both released under New Focus Recordings.
