Currently a graduate student in electric guitar and composition with a focus on virtuoso technical-stylistic aspects at The Contemporary Music School, studying his final year of a degree in musical composition at Universidad Panamericana. He also serves as a university-level instructor.
Avgarde's extensive background includes studies in harmony, composition, and acoustics.
His passion for innovation extends to the development of new techniques and algorithms in applied mathematics for music composition and analysis. He has successfully implemented these techniques in his auditory training classes, accelerating the pedagogical process for his students.
A versatile composer and producer, Avgarde has explored a diverse range of musical styles and collaborated with renowned orchestral music figures in transcription projects.
His expertise extends to acoustic physics and music theory. He currently serves as the head of acoustic physics and vector geometry at the ORFREC cabinet in collaboration with Rene Vaderi.
His ultimate aspiration lies in the exploration and creation of new compositional techniques, alongside the performance of his compositions.
