About the music
“The reference to historical forms or styles of the past, as revised in my personal way, are not an expression of a conservative attitude. Quite simply, I believe that compositional technique and language are the means of expression and not ends. The main objective of my musical research does not consist of a proposed new code; through my music I try to tell the most effective and engaging stories through music, which generally require characters (themes) and evolutions (motivic-thematic processes). Communication is important and it is clearly necessary to obtain the clarity of what is being said. The attention of some composers can be consumed by innovation, but for others, something deeper. The historical forms, and with them the harmonic language, are archetypes which it is difficult to ignore completely, otherwise there would be a lack of communication. “
