BIOGRAPHY

OSCAR CARMONA


Oscar Carmona is a composer, pianist, and interdisciplinary artist whose work moves across contemporary piano, cinematic composition, experimental electronics, and hybrid forms of musical writing. His music inhabits a wide expressive range: from quiet resonance to rhythmic tension, from open harmonies to controlled dissonance, from structural clarity to intuitive gesture. He works with timbre, repetition, contrast, and narrative as key elements in shaping the listener’s experience.

Trained in composition and with a background spanning music for stage, music theatre, ensemble, orchestra, electronics, and audiovisual media, Carmona has developed a language where intensity and stillness coexist alongside structure and fluidity. His influences draw from contemporary pianism, certain Latin American traditions, and the aesthetics of film music and expanded minimalism.

In recent years he has focused on two main areas:

  • the piano as a narrative instrument capable of shifting between intimacy and energy, and
  • composition for image and hybrid electronics as spaces for sonic exploration.

His EP Invisible, his licensed works for Audiio.com, and his upcoming solo piano album reflect this currant stage, where instrospective resonance, rhythmic pulse, timbral nuance, and a clear formal sensibility converge. He is also composing the score a for a documentary currently in development, scheduled for release in 2026.

Alongside his musical work, Carmona maintains a literary practice based on fragments, notebooks, and short texts that naturally inform his approach to rhythm, structure, and narrative. This relationship between sound and language is present in his music theatre projects and in his broader artistic perspective.

He is currently developing new works for piano, electronics, and film, expanding his language toward a space where energy, silence, tension, and memory coexist within a distinctive artistic voice.
