My music embraces in a historically conscious way folkloric, improvised and avant-garde musical traditions in search of the creation of complex and potent contemporary music.

I have participated in projects as a composer, performer and improviser in Colombia and Canada. I'm currently based in Montreal, where I'm deeply involved in the city's improvised music, free jazz and contemporary music scenes. This has led to performances and collaborations with musicians including Malcolm Goldstein, Lori Freedman, Scott Thomson and Anthony Braxton.

I am committed to finding a heterogeneous and sensitive musical expressivity through improvisation in a variety of different contexts ranging from solo double bass performances, to playing in improvised music ensembles, my own compositional language, collaboration with dancers and performing the music of other composers.

Solo

I see solo performance as a rigorous study of musical phenomena; an appreciation of the instrument's expressive capacities as a vehicle for individual creativity; a space of immense sensory awareness; a reflection on the material proposed by those whose ideas have had an effect on our music as a cumulative and never-ending process.

Collaborations

Duo Chouinard / Jiménez

Ma collaboration avec cette danseuse montréalaise est un duo transdisciplinaire de création impliquant les différentes possibilités relationnelles d'un ou deux corps en mouvement avec la contrebasse. Notre travail jusqu'à présent comprend des performances en duo mettant en jeu le mouvement et la contrebasse, ainsi que la composition d'œuvres de musique de chambre utilisant la danse.
