Community Project

IBERORQUESTAS
We worked with the Piedra del Pacífico music band from San Pedro Mixtepec. We worked with 20 participants. There were 11 work sessions in the community, and the last session was held in the foundation’s facilities. The resident’s main objective was to make a new composition free of rights for the band’s repertoire, try it, and achieve it at the end of the workshop. Added to this, the resident created one more the piece, which was prepared to achieve a final assembly at Casa Wabi, where the project was merged with the community workshop of NOHBORDS and the dance group of the House of Culture of Rio Grande, who they mounted the song’s choreography and great music and dance event, was held at the foundation’s facilities.
Throughout the rehearsal sessions, the resident performed improvisation exercises, composition, sound explorations and creation of sound environments for films or stories with the members of the band, As a parallel project, the resident gave a short course to music teachers from the municipality of San Pedro Mixtepec to show them new techniques and methods of teaching music for children and young people.

Composer. Initial music studies at the National Conservatory of Music of Quito. I have conducted seminars and composition workshops at several cities of Ecuador. I’ve worked as composer of the Department of Development and Musical Diffusion of the Metropolitan Municipality of Quito. I was professor of composition at the Catholic University of Quito. In 1999, in Spain, I attended an electroacoustic music and computer course. In 2001, I was professor of composition and Academic Director of the School of Music of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Cuenca. In 2003 I became part of the team of the MAAC (Anthropological Museum of Art and Culture) and Music of the Central Bank of Guayaquil. Later I was Musical Advisor of the IADAP (Andean Institute of Popular Arts) in the project SAIA (Andean Indigenous Symphony of Ayora) in Ayora, Cayambe. From 2005 to 2008 I became part of the group of musicians of the Teatro Sucre Foundation and composers of the Cultural Center “Mama Cuchara” of Quito. In 2013 I joined the National Symphonic Orchestra of Ecuador as a composer and arranger until the end of 2016, in that same year I graduated from the Bachelor’s Degree in Musical Pedagogy at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Quito.
My compositions, for the most part, have a national accent. I have worked with both academic and popular, national and Latin American music. The musical training received initially served as the basis to know the world of music, especially that related to European classical music. Parallel to this, my musical appetites are diversified.
