Odara Trio — the group I play with. With Sabela, Suso and Andreu there is a complicity that goes beyond music.
The beach at Sant Pere Pescador is where I walk and collect shells.
The guitar is my instrument. It balances me and helps me grow; it gives me everything without asking for anything in return.
I always keep close those I consider referents. In music, some of them are Stravinsky, Brouwer and Jobim.
The house in Aragon has become a life project.
My partner is my counterbalance and the perspective that recenters me when I become scattered.
A good wine is a deliberate indulgence, a small reminder that life can always be a little more intense.
Traveling by motorhome, where a small world unfolds inside a larger, often incomprehensible one.
I like to look at the sky so I never stop asking myself questions.
Writing is playing at creating places and characters, and sometimes I play God with them.
