Playing piano since I was four and studied in a musical school for ten years. Though, I always felt that playing by notes and singing in a choir is not enough to become a musician. I needed to be able to play anything I want by ear so, by starting improvising, I've found my own style of playing. When I teach children to play piano or sing, I offer them improvisation right from the beginning. I wish I was taught that way, since until my mid-30s I had hard times to relax and believe in my ability to create my own music. Twelve years ago my husband (@arty-sandler) finally convinced me to record some of my improvisations and we opened this account on SoundCloud - it happened in July, 2012.

You won't find a single particular genre on my cloud: my musical tastes are rather eclectic. Jazz and soft rock are my favorites but I also play blues, classical, folk, middle-eastern, New Age, ambient and others. Piano and vocal are my main instruments but together with my husband we also experiment a lot with different arrangements and orchestrations. 

When we started uploading our music to SoundCloud back in 2012, it was first shy attempts to record my improvisations straight from a keyboard. Many things have evolved since then. Over the years we've grown into a professional recording and composing studio, with a conservatory grand piano in an acoustically treated room and a bunch of microphones and other recording equipment. We scored a few documentaries, short films and animations. This year my orchestral and piano solo works were performed by Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra for Bryan Arias’s ballet show based on “The Little Prince” story. We've published three books with my original scores for solo piano and released twenty original full-length albums (solo piano, multi-instrumental and original songs in various genres) and numerous singles that have been streamed over 70 million times across multiple platforms.

I am glad you stepped by into my musical world and appreciate your comments and following me.

Formerly CF&M, now evolving as XCFM 

Originally from Rosario, Argentina — widely regarded as the cradle of progressive house — this electronic music duo began their journey in 2016, quickly gaining recognition across central Argentina with performances in Santa Fe, Buenos Aires, Córdoba, and their hometown. A key milestone came when one of their tracks was featured in a Resident set by Hernán Cattáneo, earning them early international attention.

After stepping back to focus on raising their children, the duo has reemerged from their new base in Italy, creatively reborn. Inspired by Dixon and the ever-evolving landscape of modern techno, their sound has evolved into a deeper, more hypnotic, and emotionally charged aesthetic.

Their artistic resurgence is already bearing fruit, with a recent release on Mumbai Records, the label curated by Alex Medina — an artist closely associated with the influential Innervisions collective.

With fresh energy and a mature vision, they are preparing new releases and live sets that blend the soul of their South American roots with the forward-thinking pulse of the European underground.
