He was born in La Nucia (Alicante) in June 1963. He graduated in Physics from the University of Valencia, specializing in Electricity, Electronics, and Computer Science. He studied tuba with Jes\u00fas Juan Oriola and composition with maestros Ram\u00f3n Ramos and Joan Enric Canet at the \u00d3scar Espl\u00e1 Conservatory of Music in Alicante.<\/p>\n
He has written a wide variety of works, from tonal to experimental. His output for band is primarily tonal, although in works such as (De) Construccions he moves toward a more avant-garde style. Of particular note here are works such as Manual del perfecte inoport\u00fa, Hores d’estiu, Petit concert para tuba y banda, Viatges, and Colau.<\/p>\n
Within the more experimental vein, his concern for standardizing the resources of indigenous music, combined with his scientific training, led him to combine a folkloric foundation with a mathematical approach, always in search of Mediterranean sounds that, while familiar to the listener, remain devoid of obviousness.<\/p>\n
He has written works for performers such as Xelo Giner, Luis Mu\u00f1iz, Madrid C\u00e1mara, and Quintet de Metalls “Al Vent.” Instrumental Group of Valencia, “Castell\u00f3 XXI” ensemble*, or Interval Chamber. In 2004, he was part of the group of composers responsible for the opera 1714. M\u00f3n de guerres, with libretto by Albert Mestres and musical direction by Josep Vicent.<\/p>\n
In 2007, he was one of the composers selected for the 4×4 monographic concert series of new music, held in Barcelona. The music for this monographic concert is recorded on the CD Escala de blaus. His entire musical output for tuba has been recorded by Vicent L\u00f3pez and Adolfo Garc\u00eda.<\/p>\n
