Luis Codera Puzo: Multiplicidad

The tension between the desire for diversity and the categorical demand for clarity is characteristic of Luis Codera Puzo’s musical work. Hailing from Barcelona, Puzo has a compositional approach that seeks to shape the content in as many ways as possible, while at the same time creating something simple and undivided through the nexus between them. The driving force behind this endeavour to reconcile two opposing ideas is his passionate, unceasing pursuit and his resolute refusal of any form of idleness in music.
