His German ancestry father brought a lot of traditional accordion playing to his life before moving onto professional piano training.\n\nCarlos's early interest in composition and arrangement was widely open by various studies in jazz piano and modern harmony with a renowned TV composer. While entering the world of incidental music combined with various influences from New Age artists, Carlos started composing a very distinctive style of music creating a subtle blend of New Age with a touch of Celtic and Electronic music.\n\nAfter relocating to Vancouver, Canada, he began pursuing a musical career as a composer and has been honoured by several industry awards including a nomination for best New Age artist at the Hollywood Music and Media Awards 2012 and a top 3 finalist for the Roland Synth Contest 2010.\n\nHis debut album, Sea to Sky, is an album created with great passion that compiles all his musical journey throughout his life. Every song uniqueness will take you to different places. This music will evoke a feeling of serenity with empowerment within you.\n\nPiano is always present in his recordings, strings form a very important part of his arrangements, ethnic instruments from the Middle East and Asia are also used, and everything blended together with various female voices which add a very subtle and atmospheric ambience to his songs.\n\nYou can also check out Carlos Schwarz on his website.", "photo" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/img/carlos_schwarz.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/carlos_schwarz/", "albums" : [{ "sku" : "carlosschwarz-seatoskynv", "name" : "Sea to Sky (vocals removed)", "artist" : { "name" : "Carlos Schwarz", "page" : "carlos_schwarz" }, "release_date" : "2026-10-20", "genres" : ["New Age","World","Vocal"], "vocals" : "vocals removed", "moods" : ["peaceful","ethereal","calm","reflective","spiritual"], "uses" : ["nature documentary","meditation or yoga","spa or massage","emotional storytelling","travel","podcast background"], "energy" : 2, "instrumentation" : ["soothing voices","strings","piano","cello","ethnic instruments","acoustic instruments"], "sounds_like" : [], "summary" : "A peaceful, ethereal New Age album blending acoustic and ethnic instruments with delicate vocals and warm strings, ideal for nature documentaries, meditation, and emotional storytelling.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Carlos%20Schwarz/Sea%20to%20Sky%20(vocals%20removed)/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/carlosschwarz-seatoskynv/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/carlosschwarz-seatoskynv", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=carlosschwarz-seatoskynv" },{ "sku" : "carlosschwarz-impressions", "name" : "Impressions", "artist" : { "name" : "Carlos Schwarz", "page" : "carlos_schwarz" }, "release_date" : "2014-11-15", "genres" : ["Ambient","New Age"], "vocals" : "vocals", "moods" : ["peaceful","ethereal","meditative","reflective","hopeful","spiritual"], "uses" : ["meditation or yoga","spa or massage","podcast background","emotional storytelling","nature documentary","slideshow or memories"], "energy" : 2, "instrumentation" : ["acoustic piano","ethnic percussion","violin","soothing vocals","acoustic guitar"], "sounds_like" : [], "summary" : "A peaceful, ethereal New Age album with acoustic piano, violin, ethnic percussion, and soothing vocals, ideal for meditation, spa settings, or emotional storytelling.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Carlos%20Schwarz/Impressions/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/carlosschwarz-impressions/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/carlosschwarz-impressions", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=carlosschwarz-impressions" },{ "sku" : "carlosschwarz-seatosky", "name" : "Sea to Sky", "artist" : { "name" : "Carlos Schwarz", "page" : "carlos_schwarz" }, "release_date" : "2014-01-09", "genres" : ["New Age","World","Vocal"], "vocals" : "vocals", "moods" : ["peaceful","ethereal","calm","reflective","spiritual"], "uses" : ["nature documentary","meditation or yoga","spa or massage","emotional storytelling","travel","podcast background"], "energy" : 2, "instrumentation" : ["soothing voices","strings","piano","cello","ethnic instruments","acoustic instruments"], "sounds_like" : [], "summary" : "A peaceful, ethereal New Age album blending acoustic and ethnic instruments with delicate vocals and warm strings, ideal for nature documentaries, meditation, and emotional storytelling.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Carlos%20Schwarz/Sea%20to%20Sky/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/carlosschwarz-seatosky/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/carlosschwarz-seatosky", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=carlosschwarz-seatosky" }] }, "license" : { "music_license" : "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 1.0)", "music_license_url" : "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/", "listening" : "Stream the free previews, or buy an album for $8 to download it in MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, OGG or WAV. 100% of the price goes to the musician.", "non_commercial" : "Non-commercial projects may use the music under CC BY-NC-SA 1.0: credit the artist and Magnatune, and share alike.", "projects" : "Magnatune members may use any Magnatune music in their projects, commercial or not (videos, films, podcasts, games, apps, websites, adverts), including work for clients, under the Magnatune Project Licence.
