Atlas
Atlas is my second album.
A space where I try to reimagine the classical guitar in a new realm.
I invite you into a personal journey exploring contrasts.
Shaped by twelve instrumental pieces
Where the infinitely small meets the infinitely vast.I explore sound, sculpting it slowly,
until something begins to pulse, to breathe,
I listen closely to the grain of the instrument, to the finger sliding on wood, to the nail brushing the string, the friction of the body against the resonance box.Everything that forms my intimate, deeply physical relationship with the guitar

Clavel Blanco
My first album, Clavel Blanco, is a dedication to my family, my Spanish roots, and to the grief that comes with loss.
At the heart of the album are cassette tapes. More than a sound, they are a leap through time. They take me back to my childhood bedroom, where I would re-record CDs onto tape to create playlists for family holidays. When I listen to a cassette, I am ten years old again, eyes closed, imagining landscapes far beyond the four walls around me.
If recording music is analogous to photography, my images are minimalist close-ups: I care deeply about the little I choose to immortalise. To me, hearing the breath of the instrumentalist is as important as the chords they play.
Inspired by The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying and my research into different cultures and traditions around the world, this album explores death and questions our way of life. From that intimate place, I explore new musical terrain: rhythms that lean towards electronic music, arrangements for string ensemble, and vocal tracks with the duo Black Lilys and singer Lisa Li-Lund.

Atlantic Bar
I had the chance to compose with my dear friend François Simitchiev the original soundtrack of this beautiful documentary film by Fanny Molins. We wanted you to feel the warmth of Nathalie and the regulars at the bar, to bring the intimacy of the south of France and music is a door to leave the bar, and create our own bubble.
It's been an amazing journey, composing, recording and mixing the whole music, working closely with Fanny and Remy (the editing ninja 🥷 ).
We came to a point where the editing and the music were inspired by each other to give the final form to this film. And finally heading to Le Festival de Cannes 2022 where the film has been shown for the first time, meeting the characters and make memories to last a lifetime with my friends.
Also selected at « Les César 2024 » for the best documentary.

Sage
"SAGE" is my first solo EP. Although the themes that run throughout the record were born ten years ago, it took all this maturation to give birth to them fully. The EP was recorded in five days, in a concert hall in the heart of Lyon that was closed due to COVID restrictions. This snapshot of time needed to be taken in a real place; we had to hear the cars passing in the distance while I was closing the last chapter of the book that inspired me so much, ("L'usage du vide" by Romain Graziani). It was necessary to play immediately and vividly capture the moment exactly as it was.
