INFO

cartel

I consider myself a versatile film music composer because:

Versatile: As you can check in the video and music section, I'm able to write music in a wide range of generes and sound stiles, from big symponic music to rock, ambient or sutile drama

Film music composer: because music is my way to help others to say their histories. Because I almost think more like a film director than a musician. Because I consider myself a filmmaker, working with other filmmakers through the music. I really don¡t consider music without images and istories. This is why I'm totally focused on music for audiovisuals

Among other things: Because since 2017, besides of making music for audiovisual, I teach the importance of music as a powerful narrative element to my students of audiovisual degree in the Mondragon University and I'm an usual collaborator of the national radio of the Basque Country where I speak about the use of music in audiovisuals

PROJECTS

During the last 20 years, I have been fortunate enough to work in a quite variated kind of projects. These are some of the movies where my music helps to tell the history that directors and producers want to tell.
