José Víctor (Pepe) Gavilondo Peón is a Cuban composer, pianist, keyboard player, improviser, producer, music director and visual creator. His work stresses on diversity, which is why Gavilondo has explored many creative areas such as music for dance, film and audiovisuals, contemporary chamber and symphonic music, orchestration, experimental and improvised interdisciplinary art, production and audio-visual creation (digital photography and dance videos); always using different and ever-renovating stylistic and aesthetic approaches. His creative catalog holds over a dozen works for film, twenty for dance and more than 25 contemporary music original pieces, some of which have been performed by famous musicians and ensembles like the CUE Orchestra and Berliner-Philharmonic horn player Sarah Willis. Since 2014 he has been the main keyboard player at Latin-Grammy-Award-winning band Sintesis, a role which he also performs nowadays with Cuban rock star and entrepreneur Equis Alfonso. He is also Specialist in Classical Music at Havana´s most important contemporary arts venue, Fábrica de Arte Cubano, and director/performer at Cuba´s pioneer experimental music band, Ensemble Interactivo de La Habana. He has composed music for award-winning films, documentaries and short films like Mafifa (Daniela Muñoz), Abisal (Alejandro Otero) and Saudade (Equis Alfonso and Inti Herrera). He has also composed music for seven choreographic pieces commissioned by Cuba’s top contemporary dance company, Acosta Danza, directed by world-renowned dancer and entrepreneur Carlos Acosta. In 2018, Gavilondo was selected to be part of the artistic residency program 1Beat, based in USA. Most recently, he was in charge of transcribing, re-orchestrating and editing the symphonic scores of Latin-Grammy-Award-winning album Ancestros Sinfónico.
