EP
Mundo is a spacial journey.
Impossible places are created departing from images of the Earth, treated as they where a painting by MC Escher.
Direction, depth, melodies, instruments, colours appear in counterintuitive places. Yet the fantastic landscape behaves organically.
The album is strongest on headphones as a visual experience dictated by sound.

Inside
Video-loop installation
This piece was written in 2012 in its acoustic version for a music-theater performance, and in 2018 in its electroacoustic version.
The cellist does not use the bow.
The pizzicato together with the music language reminisces faint memories of Spain and Argentina.

The title refers to the nuclear weapons. It is a commentary on our over-militarised and violent society we seem to keep building.
Filmed in Paradiso (Amsterdam) by the audience with their phones.
