Llorenç Barber
Text by Chema Chacón

Besides being “allergic to electricity”, Llorenç Barber (Aielo de Malferit, Valencia, 1948) confesses his strangement from “the craftsmen of music, and those “partitortura”(score-torture) and all those analisys that conservatory musicians like so much.

By means of a reflexive and transparent criticism, regarding the big fish in the music culture (“If reality had paid attention to the Ministry in the last 30 years, we wouldn’t be able to talk about improvised music, nor free jazz, nor installation nor sound art nor electroacustic music”), this Valencian man has always been uncomfortable, as well as necessary with words, written or spoken. But, because of his work as a musician, he’s also fundamental in bringing spice and knowledge along the years –decades already- to a rich heterodox approach, clearly stranged from labels. His broad creative vision is even extravagant due to the nature and evolution of some of his works.
