Terra
A few months ago, I was invited by Facade Electronic to create the visuals for a new audiovisual jam by Ibarra, Rezc, and Tamayo. Using TouchDesigner, I explored audio-reactive particle simulations to create a visual counterpart to their experimental sound piece, later presented at the ECOS Festival in Baja California.

ENE
I attended a MECA experimental music session at El Centro de Arte Los Galpones featuring E.N.E. (Experimental Noise Experience), a Venezuelan improvisational ensemble. An afternoon of ambient, noise, and free-form sonic exploration.

Deconstruir mi obra: un nuevo proceso creativo
I’ve been trying to create from scratch, but the weight of the world has made that impossible. What once felt personal now feels insufficient in the face of a broader reality I can’t ignore. This new process begins from that tension: a need to rethink my work, my role, and the way I create within a world in crisis.

Stream New Year Session 2026
This New Year’s Eve 2025 I had to spend it alone at my house in Caracas, so I decided to do a live streaming set. It was entertaining, lots of improvisation, but also a lot of people who came in to say hello, which made me not feel so alone.

Rachel Noise Maker & P3P510
A few days ago, my incredibly talented and wonderful friend Raquel (Rachel Noise Maker) invited me to visit her at her studio in Makinacrea, where we spent a lovely time talking about art, music, and projects.

El Makinazo
Makinacrea—which is an organization in its own right, in addition to being a recording studio and creative hub—organized “El Makinazo,” a concert held just outside the studio featuring several Venezuelan rock bands to close out the year; one of them was my favorite, Magumma.

Live Set en El Makinazo
My good friends from Makinacrea, Jaxi and Raquel, invited me back—this time to perform a live set kicking off their year-end event, “El Makinazo.” It was a really interesting concept, given that the rest of the lineup consisted entirely of rock bands, but my set was well-received by the audience. I am once again very grateful for the opportunity and…

Rocks
While working on a commercial project a few months ago, I began experimenting with fluid simulations in Houdini. The project never materialized, but the tests inspired me to develop the idea further. Instead of using the basic geometries from my experiments, I built a procedural system to generate rocks and render them directly in Houdini with Karma. Here are some…

Noise Point Attribute
Going back to basics, I started programming from scratch directly on the attributes of the points in Houdini using its native language VEX. I really liked the results, and now I want to start doing the same in Unreal Engine or Touchdesigner to make it interactive.

Mavis Cross Modulation Test
I’m continuing to explore more with my hardware, and now I’m working with my first analog synthesizer, the Moog Mavis, which I feel I have never fully explored its potential. I’m now experimenting with Cross Modulation and FM Synthesis using the two oscillators of the synthesizer, the VCO and the LFO, making connections between the Patch Bay and VCV Rack.

Microfreak test
I’ve been working a lot lately on sound design with the VCV Rack and I’ve left the Arturia Microfreak aside for too long, but the time has come to get back to this wonderful synth, now controlling its functions and modulations also with the VCV Rack via MIDI CC, here’s a preview.
