WORKS

Selection

Up to 2016: 145 works for different ensembles. Since 1991,  Josep-Maria Balanyà has mainly focused on the sound possibilities of  piano. Since 1994 several new works have emerged as a result of this  research with the addition of other non-conventional  instruments-objects. These new works can be brought together under the  label of "Acoustic experimental art". All these works relate to  instantaneous composition.
