Javier Muñoz Bravo was born in Chile in 1982. His creations involve instrumental as well as electronic music. His catalogue of works comprises pieces for soloists, ensembles, orchestras and cinema, and includes both chamber music and dance music. He is inspired by natural phenomena, such as chaos and the behaviour of light, and he works on the flexibility of time in music in real time.
