Carlos SandovalComposer Carlos Sandoval studied classical guitar and composition at the National School of Music, in Mexico. He later moved to New York to study piano tuning. By that time, he was also interested in Mexican and Latin-American folk music, in drawing, photography and painting. He worked as a freelance illustrator in Mexico and New York and as a photographer in Los Angeles. In 1980, he moved to Vienna, where he had two one-person exhibits of his photography and drawings. He continued to work on composition and also worked and studied in a piano factory. He was segregated in a foreign-exclusive floor and did not participate in the musical life in Vienna. In 1983, he moved back to Mexico and from 1985 to 1990 studied theory and composition with Estrada and began the construction of some very simple automated mechanical percussion instruments, to generate random rhythmic chains. In 1989 he became friends with Conlon Nancarrow and served as his assistant from 1990-1994. This was a major turning point as it returned him to his earlier beliefs and esthetic values. It also confirmed his future as composer, using mechanical resources (necessarily translated into computer) to make music. In 1995, he finished his own, custom-made computer-controlled acoustic piano, which was developed in collaboration with Trimpin a sound sculptor, composer and inventor based in Seattle. In 1996 and 1999, in order to input information into this piano, he worked in Holland on a pair of sensored-gloves. However, the piano and gloves have since been abandoned. He has lived in Berlin since 2003. Since 1999 he has been a member of the Mexican "Sistema Nacional de Creadores". His most recent projects include orchestral, chamber, solo and DSP-based pieces.
