The virtue itself.

if not yourself, Who you would like to be :: 
Some kind of animal, no doubt.

In the countryside, surrounded by mountains with some river nearby. I don't know if I could live like this long, I'm a slave of the city, but that would be my ideal.

Your favorite color :: 
Blue

Your favorite flower :: 
I don't have a favorite flower.

Nature gives us things constantly, but we insist on not seeing them.

How I would like to die :: 
Painless, in all senses.

What is your present state of mind :: 
Pretty confusing and messy.

Even if my actions sometimes express the opposite, I think I'm quite tolerant at heart. In everyday life as a general rule, no fault is so tremendously serious.

Just to say one : "A bad conscience is indeed able to make life interesting." Kierkegaard.

Active member of the improvisation collective “maDam” from Madrid. He faces the world of improvisation without looking for any specific stylistic result so his works in different ensembles or in solo include aesthetics ranging from reductionism to drone ambients, using as main sound several types of electronic elements (sine waves, noise synthesizers, etc). He has recently released his new solo album "Shoganai"."
