biography

Composer and sound artist of classical education and several influences, with works framed near the turning point between traditional concert situations and other disciplines like installation, performance or videoart.

He starts his musical education in Spain, moving later to Germany, where he studies with Mathias Spahlinger, Peter Ablinger and Mesias Maiguashca.

His work is being defined in the last time as a deconstruction of several musical “a-prioris” that root in the socio-political reality. This leads the discourse into an area where the borders of music are questioned through several procedures: irruption of performative, spatial and visual elements into the musical realm, amalgams with language or with recordings of the “outside”…

He has been represented in a number of places among Europe, America and Asia, and laureated with several prizes and grants: Darmstadt Summer courses, Humboldt Foundation, DAAD, La Caixa, Academia Europaea, SWR Stuttgart, Spanish Culture Ministry, Residencia de Estudiantes, Casa Velazquez, BBVA Foundation…

Besides his activity as a composer, he carries an intense labor as lecturer and writer, with regular publications in several media and numerous lectures and courses in different institutions.

Since 2023 he is professor at the Royal Conservatory of Madrid.
