sound:

Rodrigo Constanzo was born in Madrid, Spain. He began playing piano at the age of four. Though he is classically trained, his primary interest lies in contemporary music. For the past ten years he has occupied himself by creating a number of instruments made from modifying electronic devices, in a process called circuit-bending. As a composer he is heavily influenced by visual art, and tries to make each composition self-standing--each idea being a unique one, and demanding a unique outcome. The one thing that ties most of his work together is the surrendering of part of his control as a composer, be it in aleatoric or arbitrary decisions at the composition level, or through largely improvised forms at the performance level.
