About Me

_____________________________________________________ Composer, Percussionist and Electronic Musician Héctor Moro was born amidst the dry mountains of the Atacama Desert. As a child very long journeys in the back of his parents car, singing Beatles‘ songs. Afterwards move to the Pacific Coast, discovering Led Zeppelin & Charly García‘s La Máquina de Hacer Pájaros. Learned Percussion, Guitar and some Violin. After hearing Stockhausen‘s "Gesang der Jünglinge" he decided to become a musician. _____________________________________________________ He studied Percussion and Composition in Chile and did post graduate studies in Germany with Mathias Spahlinger (Composition) and Bernhard Wulff (Percussion). He played and listened a lot, getting after a while the first commissions to write music for the Ensemble Modern , the Junge Deutsche Philharmonie, the SWR Vokalensemble, the Neue Vocalsolisten; among others. _____________________________________________________ But somewhere on the road he got a little disappointed about the so called "New Music" world and began to experiment with Electronics , this time again as a player besides being a composer. He bought a KAT Mallet Midi Trigger and built up his own studio. _____________________________________________________ Some of the products are on this page: the collaboration with Sax Virtuoso Sascha Armbruster (where all electronic sounds are played live by Héctor, triggering computer sounds with his KAT); the one with the late Wolfgang Stryi (" Celephaïs "); one classical piece for ... 34 Soloists! ("tocando mañana", played by Uwe Dierksen, Ernesto Molinari and sung by the SWR Vokalensemble, all conducted by Rupert Huber); as well as his electroacoustic trio "Allée du Klang" , whose "Live in Berlin 2005" CD you can find on CD Baby and on iTunes (worldwide) _____________________________________________________ Currently he is finishing his "pop" project (to be released the next spring), working on a (long!) piece for Piano and Electronics as well as preparing material for the trio with Sascha Armbruster and Dave Bennett . Héctor also will be teaching Experimental Music during the summer semester of 2008 at the Universität der Künste (University of the Arts) in Berlin. _____________________________________________________FACES IN ST.
