Pablo del Valle

Pablo del Valle (Vilalba, 1991)

He graduated in percussion from the Conservatorio Superior de A Coruña with honours. At the same time, he completed his orchestral training at the CEI of the Escuela de Altos Estudos de Santiago de Compostela.

As a performer, he has always been linked to the contemporary repertoire for percussion, participating in the Jornadas de Música Contemporánea de Santiago de Compostela and in various editions of the Ciclo de Música Contemporánea de Lugo, where in 2019 he will premiere the work for marimba and electronics "Alegorías" by the Galician composer Uxío D. Darriba.

He is currently performing the show for snare drum and electronics 'Electric Drum Head' about mental health. A personal project with works by American composers that aims to make visible the problems that have arisen in the post-pandemic stage in our society. Issues such as isolation and social relations of young people, emotional management, war conflicts, mental manipulation, harassment and suicide are some of the subjects of this concert.

In addition, in 2023 he also begins the composition of several pieces of a more "popular" nature with which he intends to break down the barrier that classical music represents for young people. To this end, he explores the creation of new sounds with everyday household objects such as flowerpots, tuned glasses, cleaning products or deodorants. These instruments coexist with gongs, electronic bass drums, shakers, pre-recorded marimbas and electronic foundations.
