Creation, as an act of reconciliation with myself and with the human being, is a fundamental fact. Creation empowers us in what we do, gives us a place in the world, perhaps to the detriment of imitation and destruction. I understand art as a way of communicating certain aspects, concrete or abstract, of one’s perception of reality and of oneself. That is, it is a means and not an end, and it tries to communicate. For me exploration is an intentional attitude, from attentive perception -with or without an explicit pretension-, understood as a process (without beginning or end), which stimulates our capacity for wonder, and moves us to know what happens in our environment and in ourselves, in relation to that environment.

My experience is based on researching, teaching, performing, creating, and managing for cultural projects. Approaching research as a process, understood as a set of dynamic actions (physical or mental, tangible or intangible, natural or artificial), that imply a change, and which affects one or more of its components, taking as a random reference two points of the same process. With an international career: Spain, UK, Cuba, Ecuador, Brazil, Denmark, Ghana, Germany, and Switzerland; I hold two PhD, one in Arts, dedicated to Sound Studies and another in Musicology. Besides, a master’s degree in Musical Heritage and two bachelor’s degrees: in Classical Guitar and in Musicology.

With extensive proficiency in the field of university education and research, I am interested in a transdisciplinary education that addresses the aspects of our social and cultural environment in a proactive and critical way. Developer for several projects at an international level; I like teamwork and the possibility of building effective results together. Each one contributing from their own experience and knowledge, towards a common goal. I have created numerous artistic works, presented in interactive sound installations. Also worked in the audiovisual field, especially in relation to nature and the social and cultural contexts of our environment (understanding culture as the transverse axis on which oscillate the manifestations inscribed in all the spheres generated and developed by human beings, established specifically by a given population group and transmitted, learned, expanded, and developed intergenerationally). Furthermore, I published different books and articles, with audio-visual material included, related to sound practices, considered as the complex of practices and actions that, premeditated or not, use, imply or derive in sounds.

My work has to do with life or, in the same sense, with death. Which means that it has to do with the reality that surrounds us and the uniqueness of the processes that enable it. We are moved by energy. A constant. The faculty of the material and immaterial to produce work (change) in space. That is, it implies movement. Nature, materials, space, and territory are references for my work. We all belong to nature. It has no opposite. It is the origin, means and end of everything known and to be known on planet earth. Nature is the one and is the whole, it is the individual and the collective. Space is an abstraction that contains the material and immaterial. It has no limits, origin, or end. It allows the multiplicity of forms and movement. Besides, Territory is the side of human intervention in space, delimiting, measuring, and acting on it, under parameters established by humanity (laws, economy, society, culture, etc.). The territory, although it tries to determine itself as a tangible and quantifiable reality, from human argumentation, is nothing but an illusory and fictitious approach to space. Finally, matter is any element (corporeal or ethereal), material -composed of atoms or elementary particles-, or immaterial -derived from our thought, spirit, or imagination- perceived by our senses, or lodged in our memory/mind.
