With Jazz as my background, I have been playing soprano saxophone in several ensembles of improvised and experimental music as well as composing and leading my own interdisciplinary projects in acoustic art.
I have worked on the musicality of spoken words and unusual aspects of spoken communication and produced text-sound compositions featured in live performances, radio broadcastings and recordigs for labels of experimental music.
In my work I move on the line between sound antropology and composition.
Field research and interviews often build the basis for my abstract compositions.
As a saxophonist I’ve developped an instrumetal language that incorporate extended techniques, noises, and a strong influence from electronic music.
Present time activities include a text sound composition based on afasics and handicaped voices, and an acoustic art project featuring the whistling language from Gomera island.
