VALENCIA: Piano Impro on Silent Movie

 

The Valencia Filmoteca, in collaboration with the Valencia Animation Film Festival, presents my piano improvisation for the first animated feature film in history:
The Adventures of Prince Achmed by German author Lotte Reiniger.

Not only is it the first animated feature film, but it’s also European and the work of a woman!

The author created the film by hand, manually cutting out each cardboard figure, achieving detailed silhouettes that come to life through stop-motion animation.

A true work of art.

RAFELBUNYOL: Premiere of ‘Madera, metal y crin’

The Rafel Festival of Rafelbunyol (Valencia) presents the creations that composers Nuria Núñez Hierro, Miguel Ángel Bervis, Vicente Roncero, José Javier Peña and myself, have been commissioned by the José Iturbi Conservatory of Valencia.

This project is coordinated by the cello teacher Elena Solanes, and consists on commissions of new pieces for the elementary and middle music studies. A wonderful initiative, in which this is the third book we’ve published. You can find it in this link of the publishing house Piles.

Covers are made by María Aranguren and Clara Hevia, and this book, called L’Encanteri de Valentí, is made up of pieces for violin.

My piece, in particular, is a graphic score called Madera, metal y crin (Wood, Metal and Mane).
