Nacho is deeply interested in the music of our time and the inventive possibilities New Music provides in terms of performance and collaboration among artists of different disciplines. He understands composition, performance and improvisation as three sides of the same process – music-making – and approaches music with passion and intention regardless of its genre. For him, collaboration with composers, actors, dancers, visual artists and other musicians is paramount to reaching a meaningful channel of expression.

He has inspired and premiered works by Colombian composer Samuel Torres, Erin Rogers, Wong Foo Jeng and Luis McDougal, among many others in the New York City scene. Additionally, he has premiered several works from leading Spanish and Latin-American composers in Madrid such as Agustín González Acilu, Pedro Guajardo, Eduardo Costa, and many more. In the New Music opera scene, he was part of the world premiere production of the stage version of Ruby Fulton's opera "Adam's Run", as well as having been the lead keyboardist and harpsichordist in the world premiere of the microtonal opera "Flash Flash: The Two Deaths of Andy Warhol", composed by Finnish composer Juhani Nuorvala.

​

He has also collaborated with several NYC-based ensembles such as Parlando, MusicON, Noise Catalogue, and Tactus Ensemble.
