I was born in Barcelona on 1980. My first piano was a tiny electric keyboard with two and a half octaves---it was a monodic device. In order to experience polyphony I invented all kinds of tricks: recording one voice and playing on top a second one, while singing a third one ... It was not a game nor an entertainment, but an urgency, a true need. Soon I struggled to find out a way to write down all those 'inventions'. I had no music teachers, and no one around me knew such mystery, so I had to spend long hours looking at the only printed music book there was in my house. After some weeks comparing the popular songs I knew, with those signs in the book, I thought I understood music notation (truth is that I made some slight miscalculations). Four years later I started my first music education, continuing to play and compose---for myself, as well as for the youth orchestra and two choirs I conducted in my teens. At the end of my teens I chose piano over conducting and composing. I was certain that piano will force myself to overcome bigger personal obstacles.
