Vision

David Moliner has an hyper-expressive and catalytic percussion vision. He strongly believes that percussion is an outstanding instrument, which is capable of relating the player's actions fiercely while focusing on the sensitive human feelings, emotions and sensations. David Moliner's expressive vision is always linked to sound and its timbre dialectic and not as an "explicit theater". Instead, through a "theatrical physicality" that exists implicitly in the act of playing with the "expressive silences" and emphasizing the instrumental corporality.
Furthermore, he has commissioned different works from different composers in order to delve into this expressive vision and Moliner has delved into this obsession through his Solos, his percussion concerto, etc.
