THE ORCHESTRATOR
More than 10 years of experience working on a wide variety of projects as an orchestrator for Films, TV Shows and Live Concerts. Do you want to know more about what I do as an orchestrator?
In a nutshell, MODERN ORCHESTRATION for media is about taking a composer’s demo / mockup and bringing it into a professional score ready for an efficient recording session or performance.
Some of the composers I have worked with are Anne-Kathrin Dern, Jonathan Hylander, Orlando Pérez Rosso, Camilo Sanabria, Layal Watfeh. I have also provided additional orchestrations for Tim Davies and David Krystal.

With over a decade working alongside top industry composers, I’m passionate about helping talented creators bring their music to life on stages around the world.

Composer Anne Dern and orchestrator Andrés Montero discussed how they collaborate on scoring films.
This is a 3-part video where Anne and I discuss the role of orchestrators in the making of a film score.
THE COMPOSER
Where my Colombian roots meet classical and film music.
I set out to create a strong, rhythmic piece that blends these influences into something engaging and vibrant. Watch the recording session footage and experience the music come alive.

This short documentary follows the process of scoring my first feature film. Set in the Colombian desert, the story called for a raw, intimate sound—so we recorded a small band in Los Angeles to bring the characters’ emotions to the surface and create something honest and deeply connected to the film’s soul.
Original music for your film or any type of media starts with a simple conversation where we figure out the right tone together. Feel free to email me anytime to get started.
A behind-the-scenes look at my Eclectic Sonata for two flutes and piano.
I started this piece back in conservatory—not for a class, but just for myself. While the focus was often on writing music that was more intellectual than emotional, I wanted to go the other way: something artistic, but with themes that actually feel something.
A piece written purely for the love of music.
As a classically trained pianist, I’m deeply influenced by the classics. Minor-Chy March—a play on words evoking both “monarchy” and a march in a minor key—blends the lush, cinematic sound of film scores with the structure and development of classical composition. Watch the recording session and hear how the themes evolve and shift emotionally.
Inspired by Serj Tankian’s global 7-note challenge.
Growing up on System of a Down, I couldn’t pass up the chance to create this piece for 7 cellos and percussion—mixing rock, classical, and Middle Eastern rhythms. Proudly, Serj selected my track from hundreds to feature on his favorite tracks compilation.
Music just for fun — meet Gózala!
I originally wrote this piece for a chamber ensemble performing at one of Bogotá’s key venues for classical chamber music. It’s a playful parody of the concert hall experience—mixing merengue rhythms, a touch of Broadway, and double entendre lyrics.Years later, I reimagined it for full orchestra and choir, and created a music video to match its spirit.
Gózala! — the instrumental version
This is a new take on Gózala! with a full orchestral arrangement, captured during the recording session in Budapest.It features the Budapest Scoring Orchestra, percussionist Jonathan Gómez, and conductor Péter Illényi, capturing the piece’s energy and humor in a vibrant orchestral treatment.

THE ARRANGER
I’ve had a long-running collaboration with FOSBO (the Bogotá Symphony Orchestra), where I’ve been given the freedom to reimagine a wide variety of songs for full orchestra, choir, and other ensembles.
I aim to stay true to each song’s essence so it’s instantly recognizable, while bringing the most out of the musicians with clean yet powerful orchestrations. I also like to add my own touch through writing new intros, outros, and interludes that blend my orchestral voice with the spirit of the original music.
Salsa Sinfónica! – Cali Pachanguero.
I arranged this salsa classic for full orchestra, choir, piano soloist, and soprano for the grand finale of Bogotá’s 2022–2023 New Year’s Concert. This is the demo with a reduced score.
Sonido Bestial Sinfónico! – I transformed this salsa classic into an arrangement for full orchestra and choir. The original blends rich rhythms, great melodies, and even includes a tribute to Chopin’s “Revolutionary Etude.” This was part of a larger Salsa Medley—here’s the demo with a score reduction for easier reading.
INTERVIEWS AND PODCASTS
I joined my friends Mariangela and Lina on their podcast to talk about my journey in Hollywood. From my first days in Los Angeles to my current work as an orchestrator, it was a relaxed conversation where I may have set a personal record for rambling.
Shortly after releasing my album Doorways, composer Christopher Byrum Harris invited me for a relaxed conversation about the album on his YouTube channel. I really enjoyed sharing my thoughts on my own music!
