Albert de la Fuente is a composer based in Barcelona. Born with synaesthesia (the ability to perceive colours and sensations when listening to sounds), his music is guided by a strong sense of harmonic colour and a distinct focus on melody. While his approach is mainly based on a deep knowledge of the classical tradition, he is also very receptive to modern trends and non-classical influences, including jazz and various folk traditions.
Despite being completely self-taught, since 2020 he has won several international composition awards, participated in masterclasses with renowned musicians, and his music has been performed in Europe and the United States. In 2024 he became a board member of the Association of Catalan Composers.
