La meva feina consisteix en compondre i produir música, així com en l'elaboració de disseny sonor. Treball el so per generar emocions. El meu objectiu és desenvolupar narratives a través de la dimensió sonora de cada projecte.

Particip en àmbits diversos com el cinema, la publicitat, el disseny o el teatre, entre d'altres. Aquesta heterogeneïtat m'estimula i m'impulsa a abraçar diferents perspectives i possibilitats perceptives.

Depenent de la proposta, faig música o disseny sonor, però sovint la línia divisòria es trenca i esdevé un concepte més ampli que anomenaré creació sonora.

My work consists of composing and producing music, as well as creating sound design. Manipulating sound to evoke emotions. My goal is to develop and enhance narratives through the sonic dimension of each project.

I participate in various fields such as film, advertising, design, or theatre, among others.
This variety is what stimulates me and drives me to embrace different perspectives
and perceptual possibilities.

Depending on the project, I create music or sound design, but the dividing line is often blurry and becomes a broader concept that I term sonic creation.

Música

Composició original i feta a mida. En primer lloc, s'analitzen possibles referències, s'estableixen les bases estilístiques

i es decideix una instrumentació; en segon lloc, es realitzen maquetes fins a trobar la peça adequada; a continuació,

si és necessari, s'enregistren instruments acústics o sintetitzadors; finalment, es concreta la mescla final. En aquest cas

es posa el focus en la peça musical. No obstant, si hi apareixen altres elements sonors, es tenen sempre en compte,

amb l'objectiu de crear una peça sonora coherent.

[Music] Original and bespoke composition. Firstly, I analyse possible references, establish stylistic foundations, and decide on
the instrumentation. Secondly, I create demos until the suitable piece is found. Then, if necessary, acoustic instruments
or synthesizers are recorded. Finally, I refine everything for the final mix. In this case, the focus is on the musical piece.
However, if there are any other sonic elements, I always take them into account to create a coherent sonic piece.

Disseny de so

Consisteix en la creació i organització d'efectes i atmosferes sonores sense composició musical. El procés comença

amb la recerca d'un concepte: es defineix una estètica determinada, un espai, una època o una emoció. A continuació

s'elaboren sons a partir de sintetitzadors, se'n recopilen i modifiquen d'altres que provenen de llibreries, o s'enregistra

foley. Finalment s'edita i es mescla el material recopilat per donar lloc a la peça final.

[Sound Design] This involves creating and organising sound effects and atmospheres without musical composition. The process
begins with the search for a concept, the definition of a specific aesthetic, space, time period, or emotion. I then craft
sounds from synthesizers, gather and modify other sounds from libraries, or record foley. Finally, I edit and mix the
collected material to create the final piece.

Creació sonora

Elaboració d'un producte sonor que conté una partitura musical i sons extramusicals. A vegades, es pot diferenciar molt

clarament la peça musical dels efectes de so; en altres casos, aquesta frontera queda molt difosa. D'una o altra manera,

la peça final ha estat concebuda en una mateixa direcció, i això en facilita la coherència conceptual i estètica.

-
[Sonic Creation] Creation of a sound product containing a musical score and extramusical sounds. Sometimes, the musical piece can
be clearly distinguished from the sound effects; in other cases, this boundary is much more blurred. Either way, the final
piece tends towards the same direction for conceptual and aesthetic coherence.
