Program Note
Tagundnachtgleiche (Equinox) was created on the occasion of a composition competition for brass quintets announced by the publishing house Furore Verlag in 2017.
At the beginning of 2023, I decided to record the piece in a recording studio and to make it available to the public. The trumpeter Bernhard Plagg was kind enough to take on the project. He put together a brass quintet, organised rehearsal dates, etc.
The composition consists of two elements that alternate or interpenetrate each other. On the one hand, composed, notated music, harmonic and rhythmic in the broadest sense. And on the other, improvised music, mainly consisting of differentiated, nuanced noises and representing a kind of random music, like random sounds in nature.

Tagundnachtgleiche for brass quintet

No hay nada allá afuera
que me haga querer más.
Aunque las alarmas suenan
no me puedo levantar.
Los segundos son muy largos
y no dejo de pensar.
Este ruido blanco
envuelve todo lo demás

Dead In Space

My musical research is oriented toward a diverse branch of electronic and experimental music such as ambient, electroacoustic and industrial.

I'm a sound designer and sound engineer for about 20 years. My practice could be characterized as “sculptural sound environment”. The use of the live sound and other pre-recorded sources(field recordings or music) are the primary matter of my work. Not to mention the importance of the creative way of using sound system reinforcement, spatialization and processing. I've collaborated and toured around the world with Dimitris Papaioannou, Fritz company Bigi / Paoletti and others. I also have diversified my craft to other creative and technical specialties such as special props design.
