I am so happy to finally be able to present my 9th album, Libres antes del final, which will be out on @thrilljockey on March 20th, 2026. I always pour myself out entirely in my albums and this one is no exception, tightly linking my deepening love for synthesis, which got stronger and stronger as I got more involved in the Barcelona modular scene (big up to @elevatorsound_eu and @barcelonamodularsociety !), with a wonderful shift in my life which started to happen when I learnt to swim again in the sea, after 30 years of water phobia. This new energy is reflected in the music itself and I cannot wait to share the whole album with you and play it live (first European and American dates and in the tour poster below- more dates to be announced soon!).

You can listen to the first single “Antídoto” now. The album in general has a tense and at times rather dark energy, and “Antídoto”, bang in the middle of the album, acts as the positive counterweight and joyful centerpiece. It is the sun-drenched, edgy reply to moments when you feel anger, it is my musical way of saying I can turn the situation upside down and build my own antidote to the negative feelings consuming me. It has the energy of “I’m not going to let things get in my way”.

Thank you @thrilljockey ; @owt_taller_de_sonido reamping @casa.montjuic and mixing; @damianschwartz mastering; Luis Torroja photo; @dnks_mx design; @moogsynthesizers Matriarch.

Libres antes del final is available on limited Ocean Blue vinyl (300 copies) only through: SHIPPING FROM THE US Thrill Jockey webshop and Bandcamp, SHIPPING FROM GERMANY Anost (our official distributor), SHIPPING FROM THE UK Norman Records+ I will have some copies with me at some of the shows (but cannot guarantee which :-)))

Cloud vinyl in indie record stores only, black vinyl everywhere.

Available on gatefold CD from all retailers. Digitally on all platforms.

An important word I wrote this morning to my Bandcamp followers and which I’d like to share with all of you:

if you do decide to buy this album in any form, or come to one of the shows… I truly thank you, not in a shallow way, but sincerely, because I am acutely aware that the cost and therefore the price of everything has risen astronomically over the past couple of years, making the price of albums and their shipping hard to stomach in general, and just not a reasonable option for many.

We are all facing this every single day, in our personal lives, our professional endeavours, whether it’s paying the rent, food, utilities, travelling to see family, caring for our health, and covering essential professional expenses.

For labels, the costs of manufacturing, shipping, as well as new tariff barriers, have taken a real toll, without mentioning the gradual disappearance of music media outlets and the algorhythmization of absolutely everything. 

When it comes to leisure pursuits, you do decide how to spend what you have left. If you choose to spend it on my music, I am super grateful. I hope that the sincerity, love and dedication I put in what I do makes up for its cost, even though these two factors are actually unrelated. And I am glad that the relationship between a musician and their listener remains one of those bonds that can exist outside of algorhythms, in the way of all true bonds.

Dear everyone

The past few weeks have been insane, but here goes, everything together at the same time :-))))

“SPECIAL VERSIONS – LIVE AT ACCA, BRIGHTON”: FUNDRAISER #7 FOR PCRF Palestine Children’s Relief Fund @thepcrf BANDCAMP FRIDAY tomorrow 5th December 2025 
One year ago exactly, I launched this live recording as a Bandcamp exclusive with the aim of fundraising for humanitarian purposes in perpetuity. Almost all the fundraisers have gone to Palestine and the neighbouring countries, and your response has been amazing: in 6 fundraisers spread over 11 months, we have donated 3020.68$. I cannot thank you enough for joining me in this initiative, as well as @attenboroughctr and sound engineer @kanearis for making this possible.
Tomorrow you can join again to donate to one of the most recognized organizations in the area, to whom we donated more than 1500$ on the first fundraiser.

Bandcamp Friday (no commission = maxed out donation) lasts 24 hours, starting at 9 am Central European Time / midnight tonight Pacific Time.
PCRF’s latest update:
“As winter intensifies in Gaza, nearly 1.5 million displaced children and families face freezing nights, collapsing shelters, flooding, and contaminated water. Disease is spreading, and lifesaving aid is still far from meeting the scale of the need.”
