For an extended period, the guitar has been my primary instrument of study. It served as the starting point for my exploration of some of the seminal works for guitar in the domain of contemporary music, thus marking the genesis of my interest in the genre.

The works of Rolf Riehm, Brian Ferneyhough, Wieland Hoban, and Klaus K. Hübler were instrumental in the development of my musicianship. They presented significant challenges and contributed to my growth in every sense.

Subsequently and to the present day, it has been the instrument that has facilitated the most collaborative endeavors with composers.
