Enrique Gómez IV

He used to see music in colour. At Berklee he learned to listen from the inside, and the colours slowly went out.

Chromesthesia is a kind of synesthesia: sounds arrive with colours. Enrique says his faded once he began listening to music analytically.

His bass is on Netflix.

In July 2024 he recorded double bass, as a session player, for the score of American Manhunt: Osama bin Laden. Netflix Music released the soundtrack in March 2025.

Five lines, one musician.

A staff has five lines. These are his five trades.

  1. Composes

    Original music

    Original music for picture and for the stage, from the first sketch to the last bar.

    Media composer for IncenSocotra, Milan, 2022

  2. Arranges

    Arrangement and orchestration

    He takes a melody and writes it out for a band or an orchestra.

    Arranger and orchestrator at The Mariscal since 2024

  3. Plays

    Double bass and electric bass

    Jazz first, then whatever the session asks for. Also the cuatro he started on, and finger-style guitar.

  4. Engraves

    Copying and engraving

    Clean parts, ready for the stand, so nobody spends rehearsal time reading a mistake.

  5. Teaches

    Lessons

    Bass and music, in whichever of his five languages works for you.

    Spanish, English, Portuguese, Galician, Italian

Where the music comes from.

Morriña

Galician for missing home. It is also the name of his composition recital at Berklee.

  1. 1950s

    Xinzo de Limia

    Galicia

    His grandfather, Enrique Gómez II, multi-instrumentalist and poet, co-founded a Galician folk group with his brothers and was its percussionist. His great-uncle Anxo sang flamenco as an amateur cantaor.

  2. 1987

    Caracas

    Venezuela

    Born on 6 October, fourth of his name. He grew up between Galician jigs, flamenco and Spanish classical guitar. At 11 he picked up the cuatro and learned Venezuelan folk. The electric bass came later, by pure chance.

  3. 2010 to 2016

    Boston

    United States

    Berklee College of Music: jazz performance, then jazz composition. Along the way, ragas, Motown, funk, Brazilian music, tango, gospel, contemporary classical and film scoring.
