Ferran Cruixent

• writes unusually imaginative music, clearly structured, moving and densely constructed, seeking to touch the soul and the deepest feelings within
• special emphases of his oeuvre include piano works, chamber music, vocal and orchestral works as well as ballet music
• he specifies transcendence and the living, but also a certain kind of humour, as further characteristics of his musical language
• in some works, especially those with extra-musical content, he tries to raise questions of our time and to answer them musically
• Cruixent has a close relationship to the music of his homeland, but here especially to the Renaissance music of Spain, and to the German tradition
• Cruixent, who has an interest in man’s relationship to the digital, himself created the technique of “cyber-singing”, in which the musicians play audios created by the composer via their mobile phones
• founded the online magazine Stereotips for music analysis and criticism in 2006 and the musical and visual project Urban Surround in 2007
• lives with his family in his Catalan homeland near Barcelona
