近年来,莱昂纳多将最激进的自由即兴形式作为艺术创作的基石,探索未知的声音领域,并与巴塞罗那活跃的地下音乐界的实验音乐家合作。这种探索促使他与各种乐队合作录制录音室即兴作品,其中包括 Jazz Doesn't Like You(与吉他手 Olivier Jambois 合作)和 Otrotrio(与贝斯手 Mauro Battisti 合作)。他还创立了 La Otra Jam,这是一个稳定的即兴演奏会和即兴音乐实验室,曾有来自实验场景的音乐家参与其中,包括 Josep Maria Balanya、Liba Villavecchia、El Pricto、Pablo Selnik 等。
“I feel that without improvisation, music loses its purpose, especially in live performances. I don’t want to go around merely repeating things that have already happened in a rehearsal room, in my studio, or even in my head—it would feel like reciting a poem from memory rather than engaging in a genuine dialogue with the audience and the other musicians. I need surprises; I need to be transported to places I don’t know while I’m playing. There’s already so much music out there where, from the moment it starts, you already know how it’s going to sound all the way through…
In my experience, nothing is more powerful than leaving space for creation in the moment. It can be risky, and you have to embrace chaos and imperfections, but the most interesting things, for me, can only emerge this way—even if just for a fleeting instant. You have to leave the door open for those things that can manifest in the moment and that no one could have planned. I think I live for those moments—music I could have never experienced otherwise, sounds that make stepping out of our physical and mental shelters truly worthwhile.”
