music with Josep Poch, Carles Guinovart and Josep Soler in Barcelona.
He
has received commissions from Radio Baden-Baden Orchestra, Vallès
Symphonic Orchestra, Catalonian Composers'Association, Spanish Ministry
of Culture, National Radio of Spain and the Councils of Barcelona and
Sabadell among others.
He writes instrumental and vocal music in which the component of a kind
of reptile melodies play a significative role under a certain ironic
harmony.
He has investigated the inner relations between harmonic successions
and tension-relax impressions, reflected in his books: 'Harmonic
Convergence' (1994), 'The foundations of harmonic tension' (2016) and in a article
in JNMR (Journal of New Music Research).
