Works

His compositions are diverse and original with their origins in Buenos Aires, Nisinman also takes inspiration from other forms and techniques creating a personal style that breaks the traditions and rules of the "Musica Porteña" (Music of Buenos Aires city). He developed a particular tango style, combining traditional elements with colorful distortions based on atonality and contemporary music.

He has written music for a diverse range of groups, from symphony orchestra to string quartet and in 2004 he wrote his first chamber opera Señor Retorcimientos which premiered in Basel. He was composer in residence at the Oxford Chamber Music Festival in 2008, and has participated as composer/ performer in different festivals including; Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival (Finland), Sonoro Festival (Bucharest) Consonances (St Nazaire- France). During 2006 Nisinman composed a number of vocal works including "Desvios", with a text by Carlos Trafic (released on Acqua Records, 2009) and his New Version of Maria de Buenos Aires (Acqua Records 2010). In 2009, together with the clarinetist Chen Halevi he formed his own quartet Tango Factory; the group bring together four very different musicians to explore the tango, playing mainly works by Nisinman and other composers also.

Nació y vivió siempre en Caballito. A los seis años empezó a estudiar bandoneón. Hasta ahí todo había sido normal.
