Request QuoteSound recordist and designer, documentary film director and producer, videographer, editor. I started my career after coursing my first studies on sound back in 2003, as a live sound engineer, touring with bands and working on music venues. As a music studio engineer, I’ve been involved in an eclectic range of styles, like African blues, punk rock or experimental music, producing albums for Alkibar Junior (Mali 2007), La URSS (Spain 2006) or Orchestra Elastique’s “A Fallible Girl OST” (London 2012) among many others. In year 2008 I moved to Equatorial Guinea, where I had my first experience as a sound lecturer and studio manager at the CCEB (Spanish Cultural Centre in Bata) In 2011 I put together hours of footage and audio recordings from my years of music production in Western Africa, resulting in my first documentary film “Le Message du Issa ber” (East End Festival 2011) featuring Khaira Arby, Male Toure and Tinariwen, among others. In 2012, after coursing my sound engineering diploma at SAE Institute London, I moved to Ethiopia, where I worked with artists like Mulatu Astatke or Samuel Yirga. Parallelly, I directed and produced a documentary films series on Ethiopian music: Roaring Abyss (Womex15) and New Voices in an Old Flower (IFFR 2016). Since, I have focused my career on film as a director, editor or sound mixer & designer, getting involved at multiple fiction and documentary films, news and web content videos. Among other residences, I was selected to be part of Berlinale Talents 2019, participating in multiple lectures and master classes on sound design and filmmaking. Since 2019, I lecture film sound at ECPV (Escuela de Cine del País Vasco/Basque Country Film School), while developing new own projects and doing freelance jobs.

2016. Produced by Quino Piñero and Israel Seoane. Directed by Quino Piñero International Film Festival Rotterdam 2016 “It was an era, it was the start of a new vision” says Amha Eshete, the first Ethiopian music producer back in the Golden Age, the days of Swingin’ Addis. The album releases that have crossed Ethiopian borders are mainly recordings from the 50's to the 80's, however, the contemporary music scene from Addis remains, bar a few exceptions, unknown to the rest of the world. Is Addis still swinging as it used to? Music in Addis is present in actions and sounds spread out on differentiated spaces, it is an expression of the everyday urban life and its processes of transformation and adaptation in the city. New Voices In An Old Flower explores this vitality of music looking at the plurality of the city and its people. Drifting in unplanned tours through the urban landscape of contemporary Addis Ababa, this film is shaped by encounters, dialogues and collaborations with musicians and other inhabitants of the city.

A post-apocalyptic afro-futuristic love story in Ethiopia. Directed by Miguel Llansó
2015. Produced by Quino Piñero. Associated producers: Jonathan Banes (Sheba Sound), Simon Haggiag, Israel Seoane and Guiye Comín. Directed by Quino Piñero International Film Festival Rotterdam 2015 If you go out around music bars and venues in Addis Ababa, you will enjoy a very characteristic scene, but if you want to get an idea of the different sounds from the country, you will get a very narrow view of it; in some places some Amhara or Gurage music may be found but ... what about the rest? There are more than eighty different nationalities and cultures spread all along the mountains, deserts and forests of Ethiopia. Nowadays many of the traditional instruments in Ethiopia have been replaced for electronic keyboards, and many local traditional bands have been reduced to a front(wo)man singing along to a keyboard which plays beats and melodies all in one. But there are still some musicians spread along the country playing the music they learned from their fathers and mothers; intruments like the Krar, Washent, Masinko or Kabero, are nowadays roaring and bouncing against the hills of this land full of contrasts and diversity. In order to unveil the music universe and keep a record of this endangered music tradition, the Roaring Abyss team spent two years performing field recordings around every corner of Ethiopia, documented in this audiovisual poem.
