I am a Bolivian-German composer, musician, and cultural manager based in Berlin. My work blends contemporary music, electroacoustic composition, and audiovisual media, always rooted in artistic research and long-term collaborative processes. I develop educational and cultural projects that support artistic production and knowledge exchange, building platforms that connect multilingual and intercultural communities. I also lead initiatives like Comusik Platform & Podcast and En Aguas Resonantes, fostering collaboration across Europe and Latin America. In addition to composing for orchestral, chamber, vocal, and electroacoustic formats, I pursue teaching, research, and platformbuilding, with a strong commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and cross-cultural exchange. I hold two Master’s degrees in Film Music and Composition, and I continue to explore innovative sound practices, modular synthesis, and AI-assisted processes to expand the possibilities of contemporary music and education.
