Perhaps it is a matter of immersing oneself fully in contrasts.
Contemplate the most furious extremes and the deepest abysses.
Getting to those places where instruments and artists simply merge, dancing in the perfect chaos.
Vertigo towards the unfathomable interior.
This is the path proposed by "SOMBRAS CHINAS" (CHINESE SHADOWS) in all those sound moments.

(1960-Buenos Aires, Argentina)
Musician, composer, teacher, researcher, producer of cycles.
He was part of groups, playing different musical genres: rock, classical, folklore, jazz; being free jazz and contemporary music the genres that lead him to free improvisation and the search for sounds
through acoustic and electronic means.
In 1983, he meets the saxophonist Marcelo Peralta, with whom "Grupo de Improvisación Tercer Mundo" is formed, together with Mariana Potenza (saxes) and Victor Da Cunha (drums and percussion).
He begins his searches as a soloist, and in 1993, he meets Andrea Fasani (plastic artist), with whom he experiments and develops performance art. In 1993, he launches the cycle "Los Desconciertos de Mancini" at the Club de Arte, which would be the first of several cycles, the last being "Instantes Sonoros en Domus Artis" together with the pianist Fabiana Galante in 2007.
In the process of sharing with musicians and other arts, he meets the drummer Carlos Mastrangelo, who invites him to be part of this trio with Germán Jeselsohn. The experience of flowing and enjoying, was

Electric bass- technique - harmony with Carlos Madariaga, Maximo Rodriguez and double bass- jazz technique - improvisation with Pablo Vasquez.
He has interacted musically with artists of Argentine and Latin American folklore, visiting the most important stages of the field; in parallel, he develops as an improviser, interacting with free improvisation and free jazz artists in their existing fields.
He currently keeps both musical genres alive, has 7 solo albums published by European labels, in which he shows the deep connection of his improvisation with indigenous roots.
