MANIFESTO: The Magical Sonic Realism
Creating is an act of faith in humanity. To create today is to resist. To resist speed, superficiality, and the trends that dilute what matters. To create is to reclaim a human gaze, deep, attentive, capable of escaping the immediacy that impoverishes us.
I have composed since childhood, at a time when creating was nothing more than a game. Over the years, that game became a quest: a sonic journey that led me to challenge conventions and step away from established paths. I compose to reveal the potentialities vibrating at the heart of our realities.
My music is born from frictions: between the urban and the ritual, technology and the organic, the intimate and the collective, the dreamlike and the concrete. It explores the zones where worlds touch, distort, contaminate one another. I believe reality is not fixed: it asks to be reinvented.
As a child, during a humanitarian mission of my parents 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. But in his right hand, a red brick became a race car speeding through the dunes.
He gripped it tightly, as if it were an invisible steering wheel. His arm traced rapid, nervous, precise trajectories. His mouth imitated the roar of the engine: a fragile yet stubborn hum that cut through the burning silence of the sand. He was completely absorbed, focused, serious, inhabited by the speed he was inventing. In that arid landscape, his breath and the sound he produced were enough to bring the car into existence.
I saw him play, but above all, I saw him transform reality. I, who had toy cars at home, asked him to lend me his brick. He clung to it, as one clings to life, loyal to his vehicle, and, protecting it, simply invited me to find my own brick.
Much later, recalling that experience, I understood what it had planted in me: creation is not a luxury, it is a vital force, a way to survive reality by reinventing it. That is why I strive to compose music rich in imagination, not music poor in necessity. Because true wealth is not material; it is born from inner urgency, from transformation, from the ability to conjure a world from almost nothing.
This is the energy I pursue in my music. I compose as that child played, transfiguring raw materials, revealing the hidden poetry in objects, gestures, voices, and spaces. Technology is not a tool for me, it is an additional body, a dramatic 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 imagination, where fragility becomes strength, and where each sound carries the possibility of a new world.
I compose to transform reality into sonic myth, and myth into a force of life.
