I am a musician from Madrid, soundtrack and music for theater composer, or that's what I think. If you are looking for a professional with a broad academic and musical degree; I'm not the one you're looking for. Yes, I studied music at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Madrid, but I did not finish my studies, although every day I value more the time I was there.
Then I belonged during the 80 and 90 to several rock bands like Trifide Freud, which I was a founding member, or Soul Bisontes and have collaborated with different bands and musicians, such as Nacho Laguna, Pablo Cobollo, Javier Corcobado, Usura, Ana Béjar or José Luis Moreno-Ruiz, among others.
Since the mid-90s, apart from I make a living with another profession, I compose music for theater plays and short films when I can and someone wants my music. I love it when I hear that at least one person has enjoyed listening to my music. My music is electroacoustic, between modern-classical and experimental.
I like to combine with the making of videos that sometimes start from music and other times, it is the music that arises from the creation of a video. My musical exploration begins with the piano or the guitar, which I then continue with other instruments, with programming and effects ending with the violin. Well, this is not always the case. I practice my particular battle against virtual instruments: I acknowledge that every time they bring out tools that more and better imitate reality, but I always use acoustic instruments or real pedals and real synthesizers played as instruments to record the final master. Sure, you can get great sounds that faithfully mimic reality and it's a commendable task, but it's not for me.

Composición de la música original de la obra de teatro “Un cuento de Navidad”
Composición de la música original de la obra de teatro escrita por Juan Expósito basada en la clásica obra de mismo título escrita por Charles Dickens. Se trata de una música muy especial, con un toque folk, en la que he utilizado un set de instrumentos acústicos: guitarra, pandero, flauta, melódica, viola, violín, rana de madera, ukelele, palo de lluvia, metalófono y los he combinado con el contundente sonido de mi Streichfett, piano y otros instrumentos digitales.
Pero sobre todo es especial porque mi hija Laura toca el Ukelele en "Villancico" y porque mi hijo Nacho ha diseñado la portada del disco.
