MANIFESTO — Magical Sonic Realism
I compose to reveal the potentialities that vibrate at the heart of our realities. My music is born from frictions: between the urban and the ritual, the technological and the organic, the intimate and the collective, the dreamlike and the concrete. It explores the zones where worlds touch, deform, and contaminate one another. I believe that reality is never fixed: it demands to be reinvented.As a child, during a humanitarian mission my parents carried out in a Peruvian favela on the outskirts of Lima, I saw a boy playing in a desert of sand and poverty. He had nothing, no shoes, no solid house, no water, no electricity, yet in his right hand, a red brick became a Ferrari racing across the dunes. His imagination was so powerful that he convinced me, too, that the brick was a Ferrari. I saw him play, but above all I saw him transform reality. I, who owned miniature cars, asked him to lend me his brick. He held on to it, faithful to his vehicle, and simply invited me to find my own brick. That day, I understood that creation is not a luxury: it is a vital force, a way of surviving reality by reinventing it.
This is the energy I pursue in my music. I compose as that child played: by transfiguring raw materials, revealing the hidden poetry of objects, gestures, voices, and spaces. Technology is not a tool for me: it is an additional body, a dramaturgical actor, a place where myth and machine meet. Nourished by Latin American narratives (Vargas Llosa, Márquez, Cortázar, Carpentier), I believe in a magical sonic realism, where the everyday becomes myth, where ordinary sounds open into landscapes, where listening becomes an act of resistance and imagination.
Each work is a red brick: a fragment of world that metamorphoses, a simple object that becomes vehicle, trajectory, story. I compose to create places where we can inhabit reality differently, where we can dream despite everything, where we can cross visible and invisible borders. I want to open listening to what cannot be seen, to what insists, to what seeks to be born.
My music is not an object: it is a passage. A passage between cultures, between eras, between forms. A passage toward a shared imaginary, where fragility becomes strength, and where every sound carries the possibility of a new world. I compose to transform reality into sonic myth, and myth into a force of life.
