Wave Sonora is a space for making music. In the podcast, Dango and I use ideas and words as starting points to compose and record the foundations of a song during each session. My work includes performance, production and post-production.
Explore Wave SonoraFrom 2021 to 2025, I taught music at Universidad del Istmo in Guatemala. I designed and delivered teaching that brought together music theory, acoustics, production and live performance.
Practice was part of the course: preparing a session, listening as a group and solving the challenges of a live concert. I supported students in both their musical decisions and their use of sound equipment.

Theory, acoustics and production taught through demonstrations, projects and collaborative work.
Rehearsal and recording sessions focused on performance, equipment preparation and critical listening.
Concert coordination and technical guidance, from planning and stage setup to PA systems.
My collaboration with Rotary included organising an instrument donation for a rural school in Guatemala. The initiative aimed to make musical practice more accessible and give students more opportunities to learn and create.
I’m interested in projects that need careful listening and musical judgement: piano, recording, production, live sound and new tools for creating.
