TALLER ABIERTO [procesos composicionales]
The music before the music. New Musical Onticism
TALLER ABIERTO Procesos Composicionales® is a music performance research devised as a field of experimentation through improvisation in search of unfolding the musical being. The pedagogic model poses a practice within aural entities and language that actively manifests in improvisatory nature. The work elaborates as an open ended compositional process where the traditional convention of education between ¨student/professor¨ relationship expands and extends into the territory of open ended co-creatorship and collaboration. One of the main concerns of research is body-mind as language-thought, within the study of multiple perspectives around aural-musical performance research.
TALLER ABIERTO evolves as a unique environment for experimental experience exploration of perception and sensory cognition. The TALLER evolves within a class research-rehearsal often taking towards the creation and performance of complete new work. It is an introspective journey on oneself consciousness, self body-mind awareness and a deep thinking creative exercise of instrumental play. It is a holistic transdisciplinary creative environment integrating philosophy, science, spirituality, mathematics, esoteric experiences, anthropology, language; as sources of reinvention, change and transformation.

DMP® Drumming Music Practice Program
The ultimate drum methodology for creatives.
Drumming Music Practice® is all about musically developing our drumming; far away from the standard and traditional ways of approaching the instrument and the conventional way of percussive thinking. The Program is devoted to individuals who already play and have a general understanding of drumming history, languages, vocabularies, musical forms and styles, improvisation and some notions of musical composition; but want to navigate and explore other perspectives of rhythm awareness, eukinetics, compositional processess, root-origin melo-rhythmic concepts, and historical continuity.
DMP® Program is conceived in 4-Paths of Practice.
1) Thematic Structure: Soloing Practice
2) Composing: the "Other" Drumming Music Practice
3) Randomness: Melo-Rhythm Practice
4) Deconstruction: Deconstructing Drumming History

TAMBORERO LAB ESTUDIOS WORKSHOP®
Founded in 2004, this workshop focuses on chamber music for drum-set percussion ensemble. Mainly inspired by Max Roach/Warren Smith M´Boom ensemble, the Pierre Favre Singing Drums ensemble, Milford Graves various works for drum ensemble. The repertoire of TAMBORERO LAB consist on most originals composed and orchestrated by me, with arrangements for duets, trios, quartets, up to octet ensemble configurations.
The main conception of TAMBORERO LAB is that of integrating three worlds of drumming: the root-origin drumming from Africa; the drumming languages and vocabularies of improvisation, accompaniment and orchestration development, as utilized in Modern and Contemporary Jazz drumming; the Western classical and contemporary percussion chamber music tradition.
The complete methodology has been published in 2022, on APIL-PUBS®.
