I began my composition studies at the San Lorenzo de El Escorial conservatoire, and later continued them at other Spanish (LIEM\/CDMC, Aula de M\u00fasica de Alcal\u00e1 de Henares, Gabinete de M\u00fasica Electroac\u00fastica de Cuenca\u2026) and German (Darmstadt, K\u00fcrten -with Karlheinz Stockhausen-, Technical University of Berlin\u2026) centres. I completed my degree in Law at the Complutense University of Madrid and my PhD in Art History and Musicology at the University of Oviedo \u2013 with a thesis on the philosophy of music entitled \u00abLa voz l\u00edmite\u00bb. I have taught at various Spanish universities, as well as in Berlin (TU) and in the United States (NYU and Harvard).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between 2002 and 2005, I lived at the Residencia de Estudiantes thanks to a scholarship for creators and artists. In 2003, I was Alvin Lucier\u2019s assistant and translator during his first trip to Spain. In 2005, I curated, together with Mar\u00eda Bella, Itinerarios del sonido \u2013 the first public sound art project in Spain. I have presented my music in France, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Macedonia, Serbia, Lithuania, Russia, Mexico, the United States, Japan\u2026 Since 2008, I have directed and presented the weekly programme Ars Sonora on Radio Cl\u00e1sica\/RNE. In 2011 I received the IV Cura Castillejo Prize, awarded in the framework of the Festival \u00abNits de Deshielo i Art\u00bb, by Lloren\u00e7 Barber (the winners in previous editions of this award had been, respectively, Francisco L\u00f3pez, F\u00e1tima Miranda and the pioneer artist in the field of sound and interactive installations Luis Lug\u00e1n). In 2015 I directed, in collaboration with Luis Deltell, the documentary No escribir\u00e9 arte con may\u00fascula, dedicated to Isidoro Valc\u00e1rcel Medina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with the ex-flamenco singer Ni\u00f1o de Elche, I am currently preparing an interpretation of Jos\u00e9 Val del Omar Auto Sacramental Invisible (1951) \u2013 a pioneering sound installation, but until now little known \u2013 which will be presented at the Reina Sof\u00eda Museum in June 2020. I am also working on an anthology of experimental music made in Spain, to be published by the Belgian label Sub Rosa, directed by Guy-Marc Hinant. I am also writing a monograph on radio listening to be published by Consonni, and I am finishing a book of conversations with Luis de Pablo for Casus Belli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since 2019, I have been collaborating with PROYECTOR in the writing of texts for the Festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Independent Commissioner Madrid, 1979.
