My pieces have been performed by the ASAB Contemporary Music Ensemble -EMCA-, Fuerza String Quartet from Bogotá, ASAB Symphony Orchestra, among other chamber ensembles. I composed and played bass for three years with the band "Lev-Uhl Triáktar", an experimental academic and rock music project, during this time I also scored several animated and live-action films premiered at Bogotá festivals. While working on some personal art projects in New York City I completed the Certificate in Film Production at The New School. I have produced, shot, and edited videos for politically engaged social projects back in Colombia. Aside from composing for bands and small to large ensembles, currently my main interest is to explore composing and arranging music for videogames, understanding its particular rhythm and language, as well as, how it differs from film music scoring.
