VEUS is a live performance mixing electronics, a choir and visual scenography. Its 3 movements evolve around the idea of human communication and misscomunication. The first movement, "Babel", represents the impossibilty of dialogue as a criticism to individualism in the era of cognitive capitalism. On the second movement, "Discord", polarization between 2 groups leds to conflict and rage. On the f...

A recording of a set of generative soundtracks for a VR experience recreating the middle age ambience of the Pedralbes monastery in Barcelona. Most of the tracks are composed by a minimal number of short loops which are being volume modulated by brownian functions. Several chance operations are applied to MIDI notes triggering synthesized instruments.

a stack of musical pieces based on algorithms instead of fixed scores. All pieces are composed using our own tools, and played through self-made digital synthesizers.

A soundtrack for a heritage projection mapping. Featured in a permanent installation at the romanesque church of Santa Coloma d'Andorra

The last piece of the "Voces" soundtrack, featuring Alicia Acuña and Negro Jari. The installation is an exploration about city models, urban and cultural politics, as told by its inhabitants. A dialogue between the participants, augmented by dynamic lighting of the architecture and immersive sound. Featuring the voices of Alicia Acuña, Charo Ledo, Ellavled Alcano, Helliot Baeza, Miguel Rosa, Negro...

A soundtrack for a light show to be held at Swarovsky's winter park.

Another generative sample. This time, the same parameters for rhythm generation than "a Kind of Magic", but a harmonic progression based on chains of probability. You can follow the discussion about it here: https://www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/weighted-probability.337353/

another sample of the outputs on my generative music software...

The soundtrack for "Espills", a laser sculpture to be released soon

A study on atonal clusters for a forthcoming piece

This is an extended version of a fragment present in our Cluster installation: http://www.playmodes.com/home/cluster-d4n/

Another experiment of chance driven music, made through self-made tools using max-msp.

A recording of the Parabòlic audiovisual show soundtrack, performed automatically (through a MIDI system) on the Gaudi's "Palau Güell" Organ (1.bp.blogspot.com/-uq1dztVh9SM/UxW…-palau-guell.jpg) Conceived as a work of architectural sonification and visual music, the composition is structured into 5 movements (formation, entropy, order and meaning). Many of the sequences, motifs and rhythms are gen...
