Composer / Producer / Artistic director / Professor
pablo.carrascosa@gmail.com

Born in Valencia in 1979, my first contact with music was as a bass guitar/singer in a Black/Death Metal band. When I turned twenty, while studying a Master Degree in architecture at Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Valencia (ETSAV), I decided to enrole the conservatory and study classical guitar. I had fun composing just by ear but gradually this lead into something more academic so, after finishing architecture and guitar studies, I moved to Barcelona in order to study music composition at Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya (ESMUC), where I graduated with honours. My approach to composition deals with silence, space and musical objects –all of them conceived from an abstract, "architectural" perspective–, but also with possible connections between popular (specially extreme Metal and electronic) and educated music.
 
I combine contemporary music composition with audiovisual one, working sometimes as a live electronics performer as well. Producer/artistic director in the contemporary music ensemble CrossingLines, I am also professor at Taller de Músics Escola Superior d´Estudis Musicals in Barcelona.

Forthcoming projects:
 
2020: “A”. Techno EP.
2020: Music for Marcel Wanders design company.
2021: "The Milk". Electronic music for Daniel Fernández´s contemporary dancing company.
2021: "XY". Orchestral piece commissioned by OBC orchestra.
2021: "White". Techno music reinterpretation project commissioned by Sampler Sèries contemporary music cycle.
2021: “L4DL4”. Solo piano piece commissioned by Lluïsa Espigolé
