Renán Zelada Cisneros (he/him)

Music composer, human being, your fellow traveler on this rock floating in the emptiness of space. As a wise friend of mine said, “I come from my mother’s womb.” This happened in a hospital in Caracas, Venezuela. Since then, mind and flesh traveled to different destinations, like Paris, Panama, Lima, Santiago de Chile, Łódź (where I learned to think about music with the kind and generous Zygmunt Krauze), Den Haag (where I further became what you could call a composer at the place where others greater than me have breathed and eaten), Amsterdam (where I met some of the dearest friends I have, and opened my eyes to colors and movement on a white screen), and Barcelona (the city I currently call home and where I’ve met so many beautiful people).

When you ask me, what kind of music I make, I don’t always know how to answer. Through the years I’ve changed my mind on many subjects, also music. I like finding interesting textures, telling stories, developing beautiful melodies, and more. You’ll get a better impression of my work here:

experimental
theater
electronic
theater
film/orchestral
film/hybrid
theater
solo/carillon
epic/orchestral
film/hybrid
film/acoustic
film/acoustic

If you prefer, you can also find me on bandcamp and spotify. I post regularly on instagram as well.

Music doesn’t exist in a vacuum for me. I’m the most inspired when I work with others, especially people who have other kinds of expertise, like musicians, painters, filmmakers, theater makers. If you like the work I do, please do contact me and maybe we can make something nice together. You can also reach me via whatsapp at +34640872674. I also offer private lessons (violin and composition) if that’s something you’re interested in.
