In November 2011, El País noted that Pional and his most recent release—Last House on the Left—had been well received throughout Europe, even though he had yet to play in his native Madrid. [3]

Pional provides the vocals and all the instrumentation on his tracks, and plays drum machine during live shows. [4] He often collaborates with other artists and his more notable works are collaborations with fellow producer John Talabot. They have collaborated in the studio on many occasions, including the singles "Destiny" and "So Will Be Now" on Talabot's 2012 album ƒIN . [5] Throughout 2012, Pional toured with John Talabot through Europe and North America supporting the album, opening for the British band The xx. The live show was charted by Resident Advisor as one of the twenty best live acts of 2012. [6]

The Spanish newspaper El País referred to Pional as a "mainstay" of the national electronic music scene in 2012. [7]

In 2012 Pional and Talabot wrote the song "Brave" for the Divina Pastora Marathon in Valencia. [8] [9] That same year he was ghostwriting for Kylie Minoge [10]

Isabel Coixet Spanish film director

Isabel Coixet Castillo is a Spanish film director. She is one of the most prolific film directors of contemporary Spain, having directed twelve feature-length films since the beginning of her film career in 1988, in addition to documentary films, shorts, and commercials. Her films depart from the traditional national cinema of Spain, and help to “untangle films from their national context ... clearing the path for thinking about national film from different perspectives.” The recurring themes of “emotions, feelings, and existential conflict” coupled with her distinct visual style secure the “multifaceted ” filmmaker's status as a “Catalan auteur.”
