*biographical info*
The Glad Scientist is a Puerto Rican artist, programmer, and VJ. He is considered among the pioneers of virtual reality music as an art form, and is a founder of the Art in Tech Atlanta community and VLSC Records.

Coming up in the Atlanta music scene, along with stints living in Spain, Ghana, and Turkey helped shaped his musical sensibilities as well as deformed them to a place of inner sanctum and outer glimpse. The interplay of visual art, design, code, and sound subtly flows through his multidisciplinary output.

In recent years, his work has been welcomed at international festivals and symposiums including ISEA (International Symposium of Electronic Art), SXSW (South by Southwest), Bass Coast Festival, VRHAM!, FILE (Festival Internacional de Linguagem Eletrônica), ACE (Advances in Computer Entertainment), and IAM Weekend, among others. It has been awarded placement in Oculus Launchpad, Art Omi:Music Fellowship, Berlin Sessions Residency, ARTnSHELTER AiR, and Zoo Labs Music Accelerator.

His creations, while heavily technical, seek to incite new questions about our futures and technology’s (in)ability to make us (un)expectedly more human.

I love classical music and jazz. I started as a jazz pianist in my earlier years and my first true love in music - if not the Beatles that was in the air from my parents - will always be the jazz I truly got attracted to by my own ear. I've been playing since I was 7 but my longtime piano teacher, Ron Drotos, introduced me to jazz at 12 in the form of a mixtape of Bud Powell from 1949 and it peaked my interest in jazz in my teenage years. People like Bud Powell, Oscar Peterson, Sonny Rollins, Joe Pass..... - very much summed up my soundscape in middle and high school. A lot of my influence to my sound as a performer sources from what I learned under Ron to this day.
Regarding composition, though I first began writing music at 16 in High School, most of my compositions are from 2017 onward.
In 2023 I received a Certificate in Core Musical Studies at The Juilliard School in their Extension Division. I had the opportunity to study with such people as Dr. Daniel Felsenfeld, Dr. Dalit Warshaw, Dr. Ruka Shironishi, Dr. Patrick Kreeger and Dr. Greg Knowles, among others.
I am a Westchester-based pianist/composer and teacher who loves jazz and classical music. Thank you for enjoying my music! :3
